Quick-Pickled Red Onions
We always have a jar of Pickled Red Onions in the fridge. They brighten up everything, from sandwiches, burgers, tacos and more.
Servings: 8 -10
Ingredients
- 2 small firm red onions
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 3/4 cup rice vinegar or white wine vinegar
Additional Flavorings (optional):
- 1 small clove of garlic halved
- 5 whole black peppercorns
- 5 pink peppercorns
- 5 coriander seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon mustard seeds
Instructions
- Put 2 or 3 cups of water on to boil in a kettle. Peel and thinly slice the onions into approximately 1/4" moons. Peel and cut the garlic clove in half, length-wise.
- In the jar you will be using to store the onions, add the sugar, salt, vinegar and flavorings. Stir to dissolve.
- Place the onions in a heat-proof glass bowl and pour boiling water to cover. Let sit for 30 seconds, then carefully strain the onions.
- Add the softened onions to the jar and stir to evenly distribute the flavorings.
- The onions will be ready in about 30 minutes, but are best after a few hours. Store in the refrigerator. They will keep for several weeks but are best in the first week.
