An essential GAPS recipe, sauerkraut will provide you with lots of probiotic juice for Stages 1 and 2.
This is less of a formula and more of an art. Once you are comfortable with fermenting veggies, feel free to do some experimenting with adding different vegetables, fruits, herbs, and spices.

Ingredients

1 medium cabbage cored and shredded
1 Tbs caraway seeds
1 Tbs sea salt
4 Tbs whey (or an additional 1 Tbs salt)

Directions | Numbered...

In a bowl, mix cabbage with caraway seeds, sea salt and whey (if using). Pound with a wooden pounder or a meat hammer for about 10 minutes to release juices.

Place in a quart-sized, wide-mouth mason jar and press down firmly with a pounder or meat hammer until juices come to the top of the cabbage. The top of the cabbage should be at least 1 inch below the top of the jar.

Cover tightly and keep at room temperature for about 3 days before transferring to cold storage. The sauerkraut may be eaten immediately, but it improves with age.
