This is a seriously quick and easy recipe to make pickled red onions. Make it in less than 5 minutes and eat after an hour. They go with absolutely everything and you can tweak the taste so easily. Oh and onions are packed full of goodies that keep you healthy too.
Ingredients for Pickled Red Onions
Most of you will have the ingredients in your pantry cupboard already, there are only 4. These are red or white wine vinegar, salt, brown sugar (can be any sugar or maple syrup), lemon juice. Oh, and a red onion.
How to Make Pickled Onions
This is so easy, finely slice your red onion (any way you like, I prefer to cut in half first). Place it in a jar or a bowl, whatever tickles your fancy. Then add a good pinch of salt and good pinch of brown sugar, no hard and fast rules here just sweeten them up enough to your liking.
Pour over the juice of 1 lemon (or a lime works well to) and around a 1/4 cup of your red or white wine vinegar. Give the red onions a quick mix through using a fork and sit aside for half an hour before mixing through again.
After about 1 hour you can use the pickled red onions on whatever you like.
What to Eat with Pickled Red Onions
These things go with pretty much anything. You can add to a salad to give it a tangy crunch, slap them on your favourite Mexican dish and they are amazing with my Pulled Pork on soft tacos.
