#40 Lacto-Fermented Salsa

4 medium organic, preferably heirloom, tomatoes, peeled seeded and diced (dip tomatoes in pan of boiling filtered water for 5 seconds each – skin peels right off)

2 small organic onions, finely chopped

¾ cup chopped chile peppers, hot or mild

6-8 cloves organic garlic, peeled and finely chopped (optional)

1 bunch organic cilantro, chopped

1 tsp dried organic oregano

Juice from 1-2 lemons or 3 Tbl additive free organic lemon juice

1 Tbl sea salt

4 Tbl (liquid) whey

¼ cup filtered water 

To make, simply mix all ingredients together in a bowl and then place in a quart or half gallon sized wide mouth mason jar. Press down gently with an appropriate instrument so liquid covers the vegetables. Leave at least 1 inch at the top. Cover tightly and leave at room temperature for 2 days and then refrigerate. Salsa will last a month or two when made in this traditional manner.
