Beans & Beet Lacto-Ferment Done July 16/19

- a generous 1 1/3 cups dried black turtle beans cooked

- 1 cup adzuki beans cooked

- 3 small pieces of kombu seaweed crumbled

- 1 med. onion diced

- 2 cloves of garlic minced

- 7 large slices of frozen cucumber diced
- 2 med. red beets coarsely grated
- 1 small celery root (celeriac) coarsely grated

- 5 1/2 small leaves of green cabbage finely chopped 
- 1 cup of frozen chopped rhubarb

- 1 1/2 Tbsp. Himalayan pink salt

I added the beans to boiling water with the kombu and then cooked them until there was only a little water left and they were tender (about 2 hours).   After mashing them, I added them to the rest of the ingredients, adding the cabbage last, after I'd mixed the other things together and the whole mixture was an even warm temperature (NOT hot)... I then packed it into three 1 liter mason jars  filled to the shoulder.  I only left them in the warmish cupboard over my stove for one day.  The weather is VERY warm, so they fermented VERY quickly.  They are now in the fridge stabilizing; available for eating...
