Steps:

• Combine all ingredients in a large, clean bowl. Using clean tongs or hands, gently crush the vegetables in the brine.
• Place a clean plate on top of the vegetables, and weigh it down to fully submerge them under the brine. Let sit at room temperature for at least 3 days, or longer to your taste; the flavor will deepen and mellow over time. When it's to your liking, transfer to clean jars, making sure brine covers the vegetables, and store in the refrigerator. Can keep for weeks.
