  • About

This Alsatian dish is quite delicious. It is best served with smoked pork chops. You will need to keep the turnips in a cool basement or refrigerator to be successful with the souring.

Ingredients

  • 4 pounds rutabagas, to obtain 8 cups packed fine julienne
  • 4 teaspoons

Method

Peel the rutabagas, then cut them into inch-thick slices- Pile the slices on top of one another and cut into ⅙-inch-wide matchsticks. Put those in a glass bowl. Mix with the salt, kneading and mixing with your hands until the juices of the turnips start running out of the pulp. Pack into a 6-cup plastic container, alternating layers of turnip with caraway seeds. Place a triple layer of parchmen
