in_a_pickleSince I'm at the salted and pressing stage, I figured I'd post the recipe;>...
Kabu Senmai-zuke
5 large Turnips
2 tsp Salt
8" Dried Kombu
2Tbl Mirin
1 Dried Chili
Peel and slice Turnips 1/4" (Mandoline makes it easy)
Sprinkle with Salt and press for 1-2 hrs. If you don't have a Pickle Press, use a ziploc Freezer bag, "burp" and place heavy cookbook on('Joy of Cooking' or one of Martha Stewart's is just right;>).
After 1-2 hrs, squeeze moisture out and place one layer on bottom of press or bag and cover with 1/2 of Kombu and Chili. Add next layer and repeat.
Press for 24hrs at room temp, then refrigerate.
These are best eaten within the 1st week...
Cheers,
Pat

The former has more of the simpler recipes, though it does get into the fermented types as well.
