~ BERMUDA ONION & GARLIC FRIED TATERS ~

Steps:

• 1. I washed and dried potatoes. Cut a slice into the tops of each and microwaved for 10 minutes. You want them cooked, but not mushy as you will be cutting them into chunks. Once cool enough to handle. Cut each potato into. Depending how big the potato is, cut each halve 2 - 3 times lengthwise, then cut into cubes crosswise. I use my iron skillet for fried potatoes. Any non stick skillet will work. Pour enough bacon fat into pan to cover bottom. Heat the fat over medium. Once good and hot, add the potatoes and onion. Sprinkle the top evenly with creole seasoning and garlic pepper. Add dollops of the garlic paste here and there. Let potatoes start browning, turning occasionally and adding vegetable oil as needed. The potatoes will soak up the initial bacon fat. So, just keep adding a little oil here and there as needed until potatoes are desired crispness. Salt if needed - I didn't.
• 2. Serve immediately as a side to any meat. Are great as a side to eggs as well. I served along side of my: https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/main-course/chicken/crispy-soy-honey-thighs.html

FERMENTED WILD GARLIC OR SPRING ONIONS

Steps:

• You must sterilise your jars before you start and you will need to check your ferment every day for four to seven days.
• Thoroughly wash the wild garlic or spring onions, then dry with a clean tea towel or in a salad spinner. Shred them finely using a knife, then put a layer in a bowl. Scatter on some of the sugar and salt, and repeat with the next layer, adding sugar and salt until you've used up all the veg. Leave to stand for about 30 mins to start the moisture extraction.
• Give them a good massage with the salt/juice. They will turn a darker green and start to lose their shape. Leave for another 30 mins.
• Pack the veg into your sterilised jar, pushing down (I use the end of a clean rolling pin) to get out any air bubbles. Keep packing and pushing until all the veg is in the jar. Push down to check there is enough liquid to cover it (adding a little mineral water to top up if needed) and, once covered in the brine, scrunch up some baking parchment and stuff it firmly down into the jar - this will weigh it down and keep it all immersed.
• Top with clean muslin and fasten with a rubber band. Leave on a cool, dark shelf for four to seven days, depending on how funky you like it to taste. Check and 'burp' every day by removing the covering and then replacing it to let out the gases. When you're happy with the taste, remove the parchment and muslin, and seal with the lid. Put in the fridge to stop the fermentation. Will keep in the fridge for months.
