Fermented Vegetable Mix in Jars
This fermented vegetable mix brings together cabbage, beetroot, carrot and other vegetables. Once salted and packed into jars, it ferments into a tasty and healthy side dish. Serve it on its own as a salad or alongside other dishes, ideally drizzled with good-quality oil.

Method
01.
Clean all the vegetables and shred them using a food processor.
02.
In a large bowl, mix them with salt, add caraway seeds if you like, and pack the mixture into screw-top preserving jars. Press the vegetables down as much as possible to release all the air.
03.
About 1 cm of pressed-out water should remain above the vegetables. If not, top up with water, close the jars, place them on a baking sheet or tray with a higher rim to catch any escaping juice, and leave them in a warm place to ferment.
04.
The juice inside will start to foam and the lids will bulge. Once they sink back down again, the vegetables are ready. The process takes about 2 days, depending on the room temperature.
05.
Then wash the jars on the outside and put them in a cool place. The vegetables can be eaten as soon as they have fermented, or stored in the cold and taken out gradually. Serve them as a side dish or on their own as a super healthy salad. Just drizzle with good-quality oil.
