The only suggestion I can think of is to throw those four things in a mason jar ASAP! Using kefir as a starter, you can't possibly go wrong! Another option would be to use kefir whey as a starter instead, and I'd expect that to be better if you plan to age it for a few months, but I'm guessing the dish you have in mind is more like the kimchi that's made and consumed in a time span of days, not months like sauerkraut. That does raise an interesting question though: If you mix kefir with veggies and age it for many months, what happens? Incredibly sour kefir with fermented veggies suspended in it? What if you strained the whey after a few days and had a " kimchi cheese " ? I think I'll run a pint of each for fun. Couldn't hurt. I'll report back in " several months " . So many possibilities to experiment with... Mike SE Pennsylvania The best way to predict the future is to invent it. --Alan Kay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 10, 2005 Report Share Posted August 10, 2005 Has anyone fermented any vegetables not mentioned in NT? I cannot keep up with yellow squash in my garden and am wondering how it would do? Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
