  19. 1 Tbsp. / 18 g salt, preferably Aztec salt pan, Celtic, or Himalayan (optional)

Directions

  1. Combine all ingredients in a large saucepan, and place over medium heat.
  2. When tiny bubbles start to form on the sides of the pan, reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 10 minutes, until slightly thickened.
  3. Pour the mixture into a glass quart jar or bottle, close very tightly, and refrigerate*.
  4. Strain through a fine-mesh colander.
  5. The final sauce will be stable for 4-6 months if kept refrigerated.

*Ideally, the sauce should be allowed to ferment in the refrigerator for 2 weeks before straining, to increase the flavor and add probiotic value.
