Peas, Carrot & Celeriac Lacto-Ferment - Done Jun 7/16

- 1 cup dried speckled peas

- 1 cup dried black-eyed peas

- 1 Tbsp  of green lentils

- 1 1/2 Tbsp of green split peas

- 1 1/2 Tbsp of yellow split peas

- 1 med.  non - organic onion diced

- 1 large clove of garlic minced

- 1 small celery root (celeriac) grated

- 2 med. carrots grated (1 yellow and 1 red)

- 5 large slices of frozen cucumber diced

- 1 rounded Tbsp. sea salt

- 3 Tbsp. of my cabbage/cucumber/rutabaga mix as a starter

I cooked the black eyed & speckled peas for  2 1/2 hours, adding the lentils and split peas for the last 1 1/2 hours of cooking time.  I mashed them together after they'd been cooked and there was only a little water left and they were tender.  I mixed the rest of the ingredients together with the starter and then added the pea mixture once it had cooled. I mixed it all together and packed it into 2 liter and 1 500 ml. mason jars filled to just above the shoulder (about 1" from the rim), then left them in the cupboard for 3 days, before putting them in the fridge...
