Onion & Leek Lacto-Ferment - Made Oct 2/23

 

- 35 med./small onions diced
-  4 large leeks -  green & white parts chopped 
-  1 1/2 cups of chopped frozen rhubarb
-  1 /12 cups chopped frozen chard stems
-  a bunch of red meat radish leaves chopped finely
-  8 leaves of red cabbage 
-  5 Tbsp Himalayan pink salt

I've made an onion/leek mix each fall for a few years.  I use it in the spring, when onions are expensive and don't keep well and like it VERY much... so I'm doing it again this year... However, we've had a VERY wet summer and as I'm peeling the onions, I discover many are already going bad.  This year the fall ones are already how I would expect them to be in the spring.  I therefore, don't think they will keep very well at all... so I've done an extra big batch of fermented ones... 

I mixed it all together and then packed it into 8 liter mason jars firmly packed to the shoulder...  After only 2 days in my warmish cupboard I could see they were fermenting well ,so I moved them to the fridge  to stabilize and be eaten...
