Yield: 6 servings

 

½ cup sauerkraut, drained (or kimchi)

1 cup kefir cheese (see below)

 

Optional Toppings

 1 tsp black pepper

1 Tbsp toasted sesame seeds

1 Tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

 

To make kefir cheese, strain 2 cups of kefir through a fine-mesh strainer lined with cheesecloth or a nut milk bag over a bowl. Let it strain in the refrigerator for 12 to 24 hours until thickened, then transfer the cheese to a container and store for up to three weeks. The liquid whey can be saved for smoothies, soups or fermenting.

Mix the sauerkraut and kefir cheese in a bowl until well combined. Add black pepper, sesame seeds or parsley, if desired.
