Step 1

Grate the carrots and beetroots and add it to a large bowl.

Step 2

Add the garlic, chilli, salt, kefir and onion to the veggies and mix through with clean hands until combined.

Step 3

Begin to pack the veggie mix into a clean glass jar. Press the mixture down with clean hands and be sure to leave a 3-4 cm gap up the top to allow for the fermentation expansion.

Step 4

Cover the veggies with a little filtered water, just enough to cover them.

Step 5

Slice 1 carrot into large matchsticks and press into the jar, these carrot sticks should weigh down the veggies to keep them under the liquid.

Step 7

When ready, place in the fridge to be stored.
