      For what's its worth; we didn't even use the fermentation traps/valves - though we intend to get them in the future to make the process less liable to go wrong. We just used old pickle jars! If you're doing it the way we did:- leave the lid off while its fermenting & weigh down everything inside so that nothing is above the liquid. Leave for 3 weeks or so. That should work just as well, though I do recommend the valve on top! 😉

    Hey mark, would you be able to make a video about how to look after your raised bed soil annually? like a basic guide to what to add and when to add it, also what to do to it before and after planting. I've found heaps of videos about how to start garden beds, or how to improve soil, but none on how to look after it each year after you have started or improved your soil. There's so many different products, is it just all about testing your soil every few months and keeping an eye on what the plant foilage does to see what it needs, or is there a basic guide on when nutrients would fade away and need to be topped up? I wonder what the science behind it all would be? You could make the video over the whole year so we could physically see what you do, or could be made in 1 day just your great info would be good enough. cheers

    OK, wow...........made these fermented tomatoes with the Garlic and Basil in there, according to your recipe and they are my new VERY favorite thing! I served them fresh on mozzarella with fresh basil as a Caprese salad and did them on toasted bread with parmesan and toasted mozzarella as a Brushetta. both are incredible. I cannot believe the “fresh” flavor, its just like you described - I was very skeptical. Thank you.

    Hey Mark. I've watched this vid at least 6 times. Your recipe is more simple than others I've seen. We're still getting cherry tomatoes here in the states (Tennesse). Will be trying this today.
    Thanks so much for what you do. !!

    You've got to try El Salvadorian Curtido!
    Same fermentation method!
    -White onion sliced (from the garden!)
    -Tiny baby carrots (from the garden!)
    -2 jalepenos sliced long (from the garden!)
    -dash of oregano! (From the garden!)
    Ferment in salt water brine 4 days room temperature!
    Then add an ounce of apple cider vinegar and refrigerate. Best the next day and lasts a week or so.
    Most recipes online also add cabbage....
    I can't wait to try this with tomatoes!

  • @markzambelli
    @markzambelli 4 роки тому +2

    OMG Mark, So glad you posted this. I saw your '21 days' vid where you teased the toms and I've been waiting for your recipe ever since (you even teased them again in your 'fencing' vid ha ha (hope your washer's ok now)). I had a glut of cherry toms so I decided to have a go anyway as I ferment cabbage, chillies and kimchi already so why not.
    I didn't use any garlic, just the toms (kicking myself now) and did a small batch using 2 repurposed 1 liter jars on the 20th of August (metal lids, oven sterilised, no 'bubble-er' / grommits... I just burp my jars occaisonally and weigh down the goods with a food bag filled with brine). Things looked fizzy after about 3 days and I started to tuck in to one jar after about 10 days. I have just finished them off today so they didn't even last... ha ha.
    I had some kharst yeast build-up but nothing to worry about at all. I love fizzy foods but the thing I found very strange yet yummy was the very pronounced taste of brewed beer they had... I'm sure this was down to not waiting until the fermentation had stopped and that lessened from day 10 to today (3 weeks later).
    So, thanks to your vid and a bonza experiment, I will add garlic and basil next time, cheers mate.
    Take care,
    Mark

    Great video. I actually tried this a few weeks ago (after watching a different video - sorry, I love YOU the most). Turned out beautifully. Only fermented for 2 weeks, and I then tried turning it into spaghetti and meat sauce. Amazing flavours came through from the garlic and basil. Lovely

    I followed your fermented jerusalem artichokes recipe last year and they were superb! My tomatoes here in the UK are still producing, so i will be giving the fermentation process a try soon. I often pan fry toms with olive oil, garlic, salt and thyme, so substituting the basil for thyme when fermenting might give another good variation option.

    THANK YOU!! I am in Florida and accidentally mixed up radish and tomato seeds a few days ago (only because they're pelleted). I think we still have enough warm days since we are subtropical so I'm going to roll with it and hopefully have tons of tomatoes 😂 I will obviously have to thin them out/transplant. This looks SO good and easy, can't wait!! I also really want to eat more fermented foods like our ancestors used to.
