Kraut of Epic Proportions

I have always been intimidated by fermented foods- well at least intimidated to make fermented foods. But my friends birthday Kraut party forced me to get over my fear, make some kick ass Kraut and then share it with you!

Ingredients:

Serves Many

1 Red Cabbage

1 Green Cabbage

1 Apple

4 Carrots

4 inches Peeled Ginger

4 Garlic Cloves

2 Jalapeño Peppers

1/2 Celery Root

pinch of salt

Directions: (Way easier than I thought)

Stick all ingredients in a shredder (food processor). Then put them in a big bowl and massage, massage, massage them until they are sitting in liquid generated from massaging them Put Kraut in a mason jar and pack it in tight, so that there is some juice at the top of the kraut. Leave an inch of space from the top of the jar because it will expand over time. Put on the lid and store for three weeks in a dark spot. After three weeks, your kraut is ready. Store it in the fridge.
