Pickled or marinated onions are a marvellous condiment that are easy to make at home. You can marinated onions on top of burgers, in tacos, in salads, to top grilled meats, fish or plant-based protein. Mix through some beans and quinoa, add to scrambled eggs and top sandwiches and wraps.
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup red wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 cup water
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon honey or another sweetener
- 1-2 teaspoons fresh herbs of choice I used oregano leaves
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- A generous pinch of pepper optional
- 1 large red onion sliced into thin circles
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients, but the onions, in a bowl and whisk together. Place the onion rings in a short mason jar or a small glass container. Pour the marinade over the top and cover tightly with a lid. Turn the jar upside down or shake a few times to allow the brine to spread through the onions.
- Allow to marinate for 15-20 minutes for a stronger flavour and crunchier texture, and for a day or two and up to a week in the fridge for softer onions and more mellow flavour. I suggest to shake the jar once in a while to distribute the brine around.
