Pickled Red Onions

Love making pickled red onions and having them in the fridge, I put them in sandwiches, on salads and my favorite way to eat them is with white rice and chicken.

—Ingredients—

1 cup water

1 cup white or apple cider vinegar

1 tablespoon salt

1 tablespoon sugar

2 large red onions

1/2 teaspoon oregano

1/2 teaspoon chili flakes

:

1. Make the brine- by stirring together the water, vinegar, salt and sugar in a saucepan and boil on high heat. Stir until the sugar and salt dissolve.

2. Peel and thinly slice the onions, separate the layers and put them in a mason jar. Place the oregano and chili flakes on top.

3. Next pour the hot brine on top until the onions are covered. Set aside on the counter to cool to room temperature, then put the lid on and store in the fridge. Your pickled onions will be ready to eat once they're bright pink and tender about 1 hour.

... Read morePickled red onions are a fantastic way to add a burst of flavor and color to your meals. These vibrant onions not only enhance the taste of sandwiches, but they also elevate salads and can serve as a refreshing side dish. Making pickled red onions is straightforward and requires just a few ingredients: red onions, vinegar (white or apple cider), water, salt, and sugar. You can even add herbs or spices, like oregano and chili flakes, to customize the flavor according to your liking. The process begins with creating a savory brine by boiling water, vinegar, salt, and sugar until dissolved. After peeling and slicing the onions, they are layered in a jar, topped with your choice of spices, and then covered with the hot brine. This method not only infuses the onions with a tangy flavor but also adds a lovely pink hue as they marinate. Within just an hour, you'll be able to enjoy your pickled onions, though letting them sit for longer enhances their flavor. Not only are these pickled onions a great addition to meals, but they can also be stored in the fridge for weeks, providing a convenient topping for quick lunches or side dishes. Whether added to a grilled chicken sandwich or served beside a hearty meal, pickled red onions are a versatile ingredient that brings both taste and appeal. Explore the world of pickling further by experimenting with different vegetables, or try varying your vinegar options for unique flavor profiles!
