Pickled red onion

[Elton's BBQ]

You need;
2 red onion in slices
2 DL(0.8 cup) water
2 dl (0,8 cup) sugar
2 dl (0,8 cup) apple cider vinegar
1/2 tsp of whole pepper

This is what you do;
Boil water, sugar and vinegar in a saucepan.
Add the sliced red onion and peppercorns when the sugar has dissolved.
Bring to a boil, remove the saucepan from the heat and cool down.

The onion will be best if it can stand and develop taste for a while. If you want to store the onion long, you can fill it with clean jar and pour on the liquid until it covers. Tighten lid and keep cold.
Durable for at least two weeks in the refrigerator.

The pickled red onion goes well on burgers, sausages, steaks, taco's, fish etc..

Haven’t done these for a couple years, might be time to mix some up! They are great!

[Elton's BBQ]

Just love this..

Getting lazy no more video production.
I make whole small pickling onions and eat them right out of the jar. Homemade pickled onions can be bought off the shelves of small pubs these parts. They are a favourite among patrons.

[Elton's BBQ]

Haha.. well this was just done on the fly so there were still-shots only..

[Elton's BBQ]

Yeah.. they sure are good gcdmd

Thank you for sharing! Just to bring more kids to play, Meathead has a recipe for this as well. I keep thinking I need to make these, but laziness and all...

[Elton's BBQ]

Laziness is no excuse Huskee
Quick n easy to make.. And thanks for the link to Meatheads recipe!

This recipe is really good also, even better if you can find Seville oranges or naranja agria. These go really well on carnitas or conchinita pibil. Or migas. Or chilaquiles. Or lengua. Or cabeza. Or...

Pickled red onions are so darn good. Love them on tacos or with anything chorizo

[Elton's BBQ]

Word!

[mountainsmoker]

I love them, to the base recipe I add a cinnamon stick, cloves and all spice.

[Elton's BBQ]

Sounds good.. Will try this the next batch.

[Mosca]

As promised. Wegman’s had some of those weird pale green cucumbers, so I pickled some of them, too, with garlic and peppercorns.

[Elton's BBQ]

Looks grand!

[Macktechie]

I make these like crazy. I found this watching Sam the Cooking Guy.

[Elton's BBQ]

Just recently made a new batch..

@Elton You have piqued my interest here. Thanks for the post. By chance have you ever had Salsa Criolla (Peruvian) its a red onion mixture that is staple around my house.

[Elton's BBQ]

Thanks!
No, never tried that.. I'll look into it.

[HouseHomey]

Those look great. If you mix it up try variations by adding:

Thai chili
allspice
star anise
juniper berries
mustrd seed
Golden balsamic
Cab Vin or red wine vin
and some water along with the normal salt/sugar etc

Taste that mixture before pouring over the onions and adjust the seasoning.

Calabrian chili’s work pretty good to but their more fussy.

[Elton's BBQ]

Thanks for the suggestions!
I'll try some of them in my next batch..

[Andrrr]

I made a batch last week and man are these tasty. Thank you so much for sharing!

[Elton's BBQ]

I make something similar but I use Shallots instead of Red Onions.
