Fresh Turmeric Pickle

Technically it's not a "pickle" because it hasn't really been fermented but it's so delicious, why argue?

Ingredients

fresh turmeric
sea salt
water

Recipe

This is what fresh turmeric looks like. You can see for yourself what it resembles!

First, you need to peel it.

The peeling process will stain your hands. Consider this as a "Badge of Honor" for your dedication to the culinary arts. (Do not let it stain your clothes. They will be ruined, as all of South Asia knows!)

Cut them up into rounds (or whatever), and toss sea salt on top of it. (Do not skimp on the sea salt.)

Cover it completely with water, and let it steep for at least 24 hours. You can put it in the fridge but strictly speaking, it is not necessary.
