Background
The first insect garum recipe.

Ingredients
400 g whole grasshoppers (Locusta migratoria)
600 g wax moth larvae (Galleria mellonella)
225 g pearled barley koji
300 g filtered water
240 g salt

Method
Blend insects until broken up but not smooth and keep in a container. Mix insect purée, barley koji, water and salt
together. Place in a non-reactive container with cling film directly covering the surface. Place container in a 40˚C
incubator or suitable area, and allow at least 10 weeks to ferment. The garum will separate and remain on the
bottom of the vessel, and should be decanted/siphoned with an appropriate pipette/tube. The paste is also
excellent, and should be passed through a fine sauce net.
