Add a colorful, gourmet touch to any meal
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 red onion
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 – 1 cup vinegar (I used rice vinegar)
- 1 clover garlic, halved
- 7 black peppercorns
- 5 allspice berries
- 3 springs of thyme
- a pinch of red pepper flakes
- small sprig of rosemary
- 1 bay leaf
Instructions
- Peel and slice the onion, 1/4 inch thick, seperate the pieces and put in a colander, pour 3 cups of boiling water over the onions to blanch, drain
- Add the sugar, salt and vinegar to a glass jar large enough to hold your onion slices, stir or shake until the sugar and salt dissolve, add the garlic, peppercorns, allspice, thyme, pepper flakes, rosemary, and bay leaf
- Add the onions, packing them in, add more vinegar if needed
- Store in refrigerator, ready in just a couple of hours
Notes
Ready after a couple of hours, the onions will keep several weeks in the fridge, but are at their best the first week or two
