Here's a couple recipes I put together when I was fermenting
Fermenting Grains Recipe: Pia's Mash
From your garden or favorite organic type store:
1/4 - 1/2 C Himalayan salt (to taste)
Gallons of filtered or sun exposed/filtered
water (no chlorine)
3 young beets (2"), chopped
2 medium/lrg Leek (or 8 scallion), chopped
4-7 medium sized garlic cloves (to taste)
1 C + parsley tops
2 Tblsp Rosemary leaves, chopped
1/4 C Dill, chopped
1/4 C Anise, chopped
1 C Buckwheat grain
1 C Brown and/or wild rice
1 C flour (of your choice: e.g. millet, buckwheat, quinoa or mix. Switch it up, try garbanzo beans)
Rinse, drain, soak overnight (12-24 hours) the grains/beans in glass with sterile cheese cloth cover
Rinse grains/beans again and transfer into large glass container with lid
Add in, mixing as you go, the chopped veggies and herbs, layering with Himalayan salt sprinkled on and mixed in, top with a layer of H. salt, cover with sterile cheesecloth (wash, rinse, hang in sun), put in dark, clean corner.
Wait 3 days, bring into light, lift the cloth, smell and look at it. Determine sourness rating. Mix it up with long
wood or plastic
spoon, cover, return to dark for another 7 days.
Repeat the above then choose to place in refrigerator (check during the seven days as you may wish to put in fridge sooner depending on your temperatures).
It should have an herby, italian sour mash effect. Us this as a base for other recipes such as Italian Herb Pancake, Herb Crackers, flat bread, base for a
vegetarian dish… when you add more flour products, or other products with chemical properties that need to be broken down, add the product, cover and return the mash for 12 hours before using the next recipe.
Italian Herb
Pancakes
1/2 C Mash
1/2 Flour (your choice of type)
1/4-1/2
Tsp Baking Powder
1/4-1/2 Tsp Himalayan Salt (to taste)
2 organic
chicken eggs
1 Tblsp Coconut Oil, melted but not cooked
Mix the fresh flour with the mash in covered glass container for 12 hours, or more, add more flour if very liquid
Add in the Baking soda, salt, eggs and oil, mix it up for thick-liquid smooth consistency
Cover and let sit in warm place while cleaning up the kitchen, preparing the cooking space, or whatever. After 10-15 minutes, prepare like pancakes in hot
skillet with coconut oil. Or, let sit longer for another variation
Serve with your favorite topping, e.g. goat's milk cheese, sour cream, fruit mash,
honey...
