I didn't use a recipe, per se, but it was basically a beet kraut. I even added a bit of cabbage to slow down the fermentation process. I read that beets ferment much faster than other vegetables and I found that to be true. Basically grate beets, salt, press and ferment as you would cabbage.

I also have another yummy one that uses lentils & butternut squash in a crockpot, so bonus there if that's one of the types of squash sitting on your bookcase... Chipotle Lentil Soup 2 cups lentils, 1 cup chopped celery, 1 cup chopped carrots, 1 yellow onion chopped, 6 cloves garlic chopped, 2-3 chipotles in adobo sauce seeded & chopped, 16 oz can corn, 3-4 boneless chicken breasts, 1 tsp dried basil, 1 tsp dried oregano, 1/2 tsp dried rosemary, 1 tsp black pepper, 2 bay leaves, 4 cups chicken broth, 2 cups hot water. 6 roma tomatoes diced, sour cream, cilantro Add all ingredients except tomatoes, sour cream, & cilantro to slow cooker. Mix well, cover, & cook on high for 4-5 hours or on low for 7-8 hours. Remove Bay leaves & discard. Remove chicken & shred with a fort then return chicken to slow cooker & mix well. To serve spoon into bowls, topping each with a handful of diced tomatoes, dollop of sour cream, & few sprigs of cilantro. Makes 6-8 servings, so be sure to use a larger crockpot. Lentil Stew w/Butternut Squash 3 lg. stalks celery cut into 1/4" thick slices, 1 lg. onion chopped, 1 lg. butternut squash peeled seeded & cut into 1" chunks, 1 lb bag lentils, 4 c. water, 1 can veggie broth, 1/2 tsp dried rosemary, salt & pepper. 1 oz. parm or romano chz shaved w/veggie peeler, 1/4 c. packed fresh parsley leaves chopped. In 4 1/2-6 qt slow cooker, combine everything except cheese & parsley. Cover w/lid & cook on low for 8 hours. Serve in bowls topped w/cheese & parsley. Makes about 11 1/2 cups. I make these frequently and they are favs of mine. FYI, the first comes from a book called Southwest Slow Cooking & every recipe I've tried so far has been fab. The second is from Good Housekeeping Mag. I have a yummy one that uses lentils in a crock pot, so it takes care of two of your requests.
