Ingredients

• 2.5 cups chopped tomatoes
• 1/2 small onion
• 1 clove garlic
• 1 green bell pepper or pepper/s of choice  (I used 2 varieties of mild peppers in the video)
• 4 tbsp chopped cilantro
• 3 tbsp chopped parsley
• 1 lime
• 2 tsp salt

Instructions

1. Chop all vegetables and herbs and place in a large bowl.
2. Mince garlic and add to the vegetables. This will result in about 3 cups of mixed vegetables.
3. Squeeze the juice of one lime onto the vegetables.
4. Add 2 tsp of sea salt.
5. Allow the salt and vegetable mixture to sit for about 5 minutes.
6. Fill the glass jar with the chopped vegetables. Leaving ½ inch of headspace at the top.
7. Press the vegetables gently down into the jar until everything is submerged under the brine.
8. Add a fermentation weight (heavy rocks in a zip lock bag or cabbage leaves layered on top to keep veggies submerged in the brine)
9. Cover the jar with the mason jar lid.
10. Label the jar with the processing date.
11. Allow the vegetables to ferment at room temperature (about 70 degrees) for around 2-3 days or to taste.
12. Be sure to take the lid off once a day to release any carbon dioxide pressure that has built up in the jar.
13. Refrigerate when fermentation is complete.
14. Enjoy!
