Quick Pickled Red Onions
Description
The recipe for Quick Pickled Red Onions starts with thinly slicing a medium red onion and placing the slices into a jar. A brine is prepared by stirring together hot water, apple cider vinegar, honey, and kosher salt to dissolve the salt and sweetener. This liquid is poured over the onions, covering them completely to start the pickling process.
Refrigerating the jar allows the onions to soften slightly and absorb the tangy, sweet flavor of the vinegar and honey, while maintaining a crunchy texture. They will be ready to use after about an hour but develop more flavor the longer they sit. The pickled onions keep well in the fridge for several weeks, making them a convenient topping for tacos, sandwiches, salads, and more.
Ingredients
- 1 red onion medium
- ½ cup water hot; it does not need to be boiling hot
- ½ cup apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- 1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
- Optional flavor boosters (see above)
Instructions
- Thinly slice the onion with a knife or mandoline, then place in a 16-ounce jar. Add any optional flavor boosters.
- In a measuring cup, stir together the water, vinegar, honey, and salt.
- Carefully pour the brine into the jar over the onions. Cover with a lid and refrigerate. They'll be ready to eat after about an hour in the fridge (they'll be vibrant pink), and will keep for 2 to 3 weeks in the fridge.
