FERMENTED RELISH
Cucumbers, dill and a little salt: as far as fermented condiments go, you can’t do much simpler than this one. And yet, after trying this relish, we promise you’ll never look back. To make it a little fancier, combine it with a bit of lactofermented mayo (our picture), and you’ve got a homemade tartare sauce!
