I recently tried out the the Nourishing Traditions recipe for lacto fermented cherry chutney. It has a nice salty sweet flavor and I thought it might be a good fit with a mild fish like mahi mahi. I was right! This fish was lightly cooked in cultured butter, sea salt, pepper, and fresh parsley and rosemary. The salad is topped with my earlier mentioned kombucha dressing. Delish!
By now it's easy to see that once you have some lacto fermented vegetables, fruits, and condiments on hand, it is so easy to add them quickly to any meal!
Unfortunately, I'm still working on the kids accepting the fermented foods. This is a perfect example - look at that fresh plate of vegetables and a hard boiled pastured egg. A little bowl of ranch dressing that I made with raw soft cheese for dipping on the side. He normally would eat the bottled ranch dressing. I thought this was a good substitute. Obviously not. He took one teeny tiny bite and wouldn't touch it again. Sigh....
I have been wanting to try the cherry chutney. I don't have any mild fish, though. Bummer! That looks so good!
Thanks for sharing your probiotic dinner ideas -- I agree, having a LF side dish or dressing can make any meal probiotic.
