Yesterday I made flavoured salts on my YouTube channel Googie’s Kitchen. Today I thought I would share a recipe on how to use the salts in foods. Sauerkraut is a delicious side that could be served at a party or in a salad. It’s great for the gut but it can get a bit boring eating the same old sauerkraut. Therefore I decided to add extra flavour using the salts. These sauerkrauts were so yummy. The salts complimented the fermented vegetables perfectly. I love them all and I hope you will too. Below is a video and recipe for you.
Have you ever tired sauerkraut and if so do you love it or loath it? And why? Let me know in the comments below and please don’t forget to like and follow me.
