Servings: persons

2 cups thinly sliced carrots
2 cups thinly sliced red bell peppers
1 1/2 cups thinly slice onions
2 cups thinly sliced celery
4 cups cauliflower florets
2 cups thinly sliced green tomatoes
2 thinly sliced red jalapenos (keep seed for more heat)
3 long green chili pepperoncini peppers
3 -5 garlic cloves, peeled and sliced super thin
fresh thyme sprig
2 bay leaves
3 tablespoons unrefined salt
6 cups filtered mineral water (using chlorinated tap water will prevent the beneficial bacteria to grow.)

1
Prepare brine by dissolving the salt in water.
2
Mix all the ingredients except the brine in a large bowl.
3
Add them to the Fermenting Vessel of choice (check description above) packing them down as you go.
4
Fill each jar with the brine, leaving 11/2 -2 inches of headroom-the space at the top, between the rim of the jar and the top of the vegetables. Weight the vegetables so they are completely submerged in the brine.
5
Cover the top of the vessel with a lid, coffee filter, paper towel, cheese cloth, or tea towel to keep bugs out and odors inches.
6
Be sure to secure towels with a very tight rubber band or the ring from the canning jars.
7
Place the jar out of direct light.
8
Ferment at room temperature 4 days before checking the flavor. If you prefer the flavor more sour, continue fermenting.
9
If to your taste transfer the jars to the refrigerator.
10
Burp the jars once daily (to release any built-up gasses) the giardiniera does continue to ferment while in the refrigerator.
11
This doesn`t need to be done in my home because we help ourselves to it daily.
