Pickled Red Onions

Easy recipe
Red Pickled Onions

A quick recipe that will add tang, crunch and gorgeous color to so many dishes. These pickled red onions are made of a few basic ingredients that you probably have in your cupboard right now and can be thrown together in about 10 minutes plus a few minutes of marinating.

The onions.

You can use white or yellow onions but the red onions are so beautiful after they marinate and who doesn’t want a touch of pink on their salad, sandwich or veggie bowl??

You can try different vinegars in this recipe. White vinegar, apple cider or rice vinegar. I used Alvear, an aged Spanish vinegar with savory, nutty, sherry notes and a bright, refreshing acidity. These flavors make it an amazing addition to dressings and marinades.

Description

A tart and tangy addition…


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 medium red onion
  • 1 garlic clove, cut in half
  • 1/2 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup rice vinegar, white vinegar or apple cider vinegar
  • 8 black peppercorns

  1. Boil a kettle of water.
  2. Slice the onions into thin circles (approximately 1/8 inch thick). Place onions into a sieve or colander and pour boiling water over them to slightly blanch, then let them drain.

  4. Add onions to the jar and stir gently.
  5. The onions can be eaten in 30 minutes but taste even better if left to marinate for 2-3 hours. They will store in the refrigerator for a couple of weeks.
