Pickled Red Onions image

The onions will brighten into a gaudy shade of purplish-pink and will keep indefinitely, mysteriously retaining their bright color and crisp texture. rather than slice, the onions, if they are headed for one of the cold soups.)

Yield Makes 1 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 large red onion (3/4 pound)
3 tablespoons vinegar (cider, red or white wine, or balsamic)
1-2 teaspoons agave nectar, light-colored honey, or sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • 1. Put on a kettle of water to boil. Cut the onion into very thin slices or a mince and place it in a colander in the sink.
  • 2. In a bowl large enough to comfortably fit all the onion, combine the vinegar, sweetener, and salt and whisk until blended.
  • 3. Pour the boiling water over the onion and shake to drain. (It's fine if a little water still clings.)
  • 4. Add the onion to the vinegar solution and stir to coat. Let it sit for at least an hour or up to several days, covered and refrigerated, occasionally stirring and/or shaking to allow maximum exposure to the liquid. Store in a jar with a tight-fitting lid in the refrigerator.
  • Optional Enhancements
  • For beautiful, exotic pickled fruit, add fresh or frozen cherries, blueberries, or raspberries-or some small watermelon chunks-to the onion after the first hour of sitting time * Add any of the following to the pickle mixture: Raw broccoli stems, peeled and cut into slender matchsticks * Raw fennel, cut into thin slices * Lightly steamed carrot slices * Lightly steamed cauliflower, cut into 1-inch florets

Tips:

  • Choose the right cauliflower: Select a firm, compact head of cauliflower with tightly packed florets. Avoid heads with any signs of bruising or discoloration.
  • Trim the cauliflower properly: Cut off the tough outer leaves and core of the cauliflower. Then, cut the cauliflower into bite-sized florets.
  • Make the brine ahead of time: The brine for pickled cauliflower can be made up to a week in advance. This allows the flavors to meld and develop.
  • Use a variety of spices and seasonings: Experiment with different spices and seasonings to create a unique flavor profile for your pickled cauliflower. Some popular options include mustard seeds, dill seeds, garlic, and red pepper flakes.
  • Let the cauliflower pickle for at least 24 hours: The longer you pickle the cauliflower, the more flavorful it will be. However, you can enjoy it after just 24 hours of pickling.

Conclusion:

Pickled cauliflower is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a snack, side dish, or appetizer. It is also a great way to use up leftover cauliflower. With its tangy, slightly sweet flavor, pickled cauliflower is a surefire crowd-pleaser. So next time you're looking for a new and exciting way to enjoy cauliflower, give this recipe a try.
