Strawberry/pistachio kimchi

[Annemieke]

My first foray into fermenting - apart from making yoghurt for as long
as I can remember - was a great success: strawberry and pistachio
kimchi.
A variation on Sandor Katz' fruit kimchi, I took a bag of strawberries
from the freezer, added 1 oz. salted pistachio's which I had lying
around, 1 small onion chopped, 2 cloves of garlic, 1/3 teasp. powdered
ginger, a pinch of cayenne pepper, and a teaspoon of salt. Filled two
large jamjars, kept it at ab. 60°F for 5 days checking daily, and by
the time the jars started to overflow, it was, apparently, ready.
Smells marvellous, tastes delicious! Must be beginners' luck. I
haven't yet decided what it goes with, but could eat it forever.
Thanks Sandor!

THANKS FOR SHARING your recipe and success.!!


i am feeling rather pleased with myself also as i just put up three jars of kimchee..
one batch was made with shredded carrotts.ginger, zuccini, cucumber,small tomatoes, seaweed ,kale and green apples.
i do not personally like onions in my pickles..so maybe this is not official kimchee..no cabbage either..
it is pretty mild and tame for most of the tastes i have encountered here at the forum..but..

I used salt as pickler/preservative and added a bit of kefir starter just for fun.

ISN'T THIS FUN????????
