Instructions

Put all the ingredients in a large bowl.
Stir until the salsa starts to release some of its juices.
Transfer to a 1-litre jar and pack the vegetables down as firmly as possible. Use a clean, non-metallic jar.
Place a fermenting weight on top so all the vegetables stay under the brine. If needed, add a little water to cover them. If you have no weight, a large slice of bell pepper can press the salsa down.
Close the lid and let it ferment on the counter for 2 days. Open the lid once a day to release gas and check for bubbles. Keep all vegetables under the brine, as anything above it can grow mould.
Taste often. When it suits you, move the jar to the fridge. In a very warm room, fermenting may take as little as 1 day.
