Quick Pickled Red Onions
A great addition to sandwiches, tacos, and salads. Delicious and easy!
Ingredients
- 1 red onion thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup white vinegar
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 ½ Tablespoon sugar
- 1 ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼-½ teaspoon red pepper flakes to taste; hatch pepper chile flakes are also a good addition as well as whole peppercorns
Instructions
- If you have a mandolin, slicing the onion is a breeze! Place the sliced onion in a glass jar (such as a Ball canning jar) that has a tight fitting lid.
- Combine the remaining ingredients in a small saucepan and heat over medium heat until the mixture comes to a simmer and the sugar is dissolved well.
- Pour hot mixture over onions and let come to room temperature before putting lid on, about 15 minutes. Can serve when cool or store in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. Enjoy!
