Ingredients
1/2 Head green cabbage, finely chopped or shredded
1/2 Head purple cabbage, finely chopped or shredded
6 –7 carrots, shredded
1 Small onion, finely chopped
1–2 cloves Garlic, minced
1 1/2–2 t. Curry
2 t. Salt
Preparation
Mix all of the vegetables together, and then mix in the curry. Pack the mixture into glass jars. Add filtered water until the combined vegetable juices (if any) and water just cover the vegetables; add sea salt to the top. Make sure that all of the vegetables are covered with liquid. When there isn’t enough liquid, the vegetables on top will get moldy instead of fermenting. Leave about an inch between the top of the liquid and the jar to allow room for the juices to expand.
Cover with a tight lid or a cheesecloth and rubber band/ canning jar ring – the second option allows the gasses that build up to be released so you don’t find liquid leaking out all over your counter the next morning.
Let ferment on the counter for 4-5 days.
Cook's Notes
In warmer weather use a little more salt and expect the flavor to be stronger.
