I want to create a garlicky fermented condiment

[momma4fun]

I've added some whole cloves to other things before and the garlic clove gets sooooo mellow.

I want more spice. I want GARLIC flavor.

I'm thinking to chop some garlic, and some shallots, maybe a bit of dill and coriander seed, salt and let it set for a few days.

Can you imagin meat or paotatoes topped with something like this?? Do you think it'll work? I'm lloking for the live benefits, but also still some bite.

Mmm... sounds good, I think I will try that too. I have all the ingredients to make Cortido and as I remember it is a bit spicy and yummy. It has been awhile since I have made it.

Well, I make pickled garlic all the time. It's pretty good, DH could down a jar every night if I could stand the smell of him

But do you leave it whole or chop it?

The whole cloves added to my pickles taste like pickles. They don't taste like garlic.

I want garlic.

What's Cortido, traci???

[425lisamarie]

OK then call it fermented garlic, I don't put pickles in it, just garlic

Ok finally got aroun to making this the other night!

I shredded mostly garlic and some shallots in the food processor, added a hefty pinch of salt, some warm filtered water and put it in an 8 oz mason jar.

It has steadily turned an amazing bright SPRING GREEN color!!!! I wonder why??

I can see some little bubblies today. I'm very excited -- I decided to wait and taste it before adding any other herbs or spices.

mmmm garlic
We eat 'garlic pickle' which is an Indian condiment but it is SPICY!

You know, every batch of garlic I've ever done has turned green, and I've heard others say the same. It's normal.
