Up early to get things cracking in the kitchen.
After a touch over 3 weeks. I tasted the kraut. It is perfect! Not real strong like store bought. But milder with a awesome crunch and flavor with a mild hint of salt. No Kahm mold seen.
Is there anything wrong with eating a bowl of kraut at 4AM? lol!
Next, it was time to start some hot sauce.
Used dehydrated cayenne peppers. I used the kraut juice for the starter. And, using those ferment caps instead of water locks. Also, a new type of gizmo to keep everything under the brine.
These should work better than the other style I am using.
There's no way anything is going to be above the brine with these. And you have a nice air chamber to evacuate gases.
And. Finally. The gift I'm talking about.
8 tray dehydrator. An amazing gift from an amazing, big hearted guy.
A couple of London broils for jerky. Using my tried and true recipe. I went thicker on the cuts across the grain.
Only used 5 trays. This bad boy can hold a lot of meat! And cleaning should be much easier than those plastic trays.
Locked and loaded!!
And, last nights dinner.
Based this on Domino's Italian sandwiches that we like. Layers of sandwich pepperoni, salami, green peppers, onions, and hot capicola with provolone broiled until warm. And is melted. Drizzle with Italian dressing, Fold together and chow down!
