- Preparation: 2175 min
- Makes: 1 serving (316 g)
- Difficulty: Medium
- Diets: Vegan, Dairy-free, Low carb
- Contains: gluten, sulphite
Ingredients
- 60 g Turnips, raw
- 40 g Carrots, raw
- 5 g Bulgur
- 1 g Salt
- 200 g Water
- 10 g Vinegar, cider
- 0.3 g Cayenne pepper
Method
- Grate the turnip and carrot (black carrots are traditional; ordinary carrots are the nearest substitute) and put them in a jar with the bulgur, salt and water.
- Cover loosely and leave at room temperature for 1-2 days, stirring once a day, until it turns cloudy, sour and lightly fizzy (traditional şalgam is fermented for longer, up to a week, for a deeper sour flavor).
- Strain out the solids, pressing to extract all the tangy liquid.
- Stir in the vinegar and cayenne for extra tang and heat, to taste.
- Chill well and serve cold in a tall glass, stirring before pouring as the sediment settles.
