Pickled cabbage! (Starting from pickled red onions)

[Mosca]

I love pickled red onions. I love how they crunch, I love how I can taste the stink with the sweetness. I use Meathead’s Quick Pickled Onions recipe; it’s quick, easy, and tastes great. I often have a jar around in the summer, for burgers and dogs and tacos.

I made a big “garbage salad” to take to the in-laws yesterday, and for purple I used a handful of red cabbage. I looked at how much I had left, and thought, “There’s no way I’m going to use this before it goes bad.” And then I saw the mostly eaten jar of pickled red onions… yeah. You know I did. I just stuffed it all in.



Damn. Damn, damn, damn. That stuff is delicious. It would definitely work as a condiment, on hot dogs or tacos, but so far all I’ve done is eaten it with a fork.

Do it.

I may give this a try. Now all I do is slice some red onions add a little S&P, and enough lime juice to get all the onions wet. It's ready to eat in ~ 30 minutes.

Yep. I tasted it a couple hours later and it was excellent.

Mosca how long did the cabbage pickle before you tried it?

I put them in the brine around 1:30, and tried them around 7:30. In the meantime we were at a gathering. Today they were better.
