QUICK PICKLED SWEET ONIONS



Quick Pickled Sweet Onions image

I use these in egg salad and on toast and on pickle trays and, sadly enough, I eat them right out of the jar. The pickling solution is really concentrated so they only need about 1 day before they're good, but a week makes them perfect.

Steps:

SWEET PICKLED RED ONIONS



Sweet Pickled Red Onions image

Bright-hued sweet vegetable pickles are a welcome change from typical sandwich toppers. Rings of red onion have a refreshing bite.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Healthy Recipes     Gluten-Free Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 pounds red onions
1 tablespoon coarse salt
3 cups cider vinegar
1 1/2 cups sugar
15 whole black peppercorns
4 whole cloves
2 cinnamon sticks
6 whole allspice
2 dried hot red chiles
2 small bay leaves

Steps:

  • Cut onions into 1/4-inch-thick slices; transfer to a colander set in a bowl. Toss well with the salt. Refrigerate 1 hour. Rinse well; drain. Pat dry between paper towels.
  • Bring vinegar, sugar, and spices to a boil in a medium saucepan, stirring. Let cool completely, about 30 minutes.
  • Add onions; bring to a boil. Transfer onions to a large bowl using a slotted spoon. Let brine cool completely, about 30 minutes; pour over onions. Transfer to airtight containers; refrigerate at least 1 week (pickles will keep 3 weeks more).

Tips:

  • Choose the right onions: Small, pearl onions or cipollini onions are the best choice for quick pickling, as they will pickle evenly and quickly. You can also use thinly sliced yellow or red onions, but they may take a little longer to pickle.
  • Use a good quality vinegar: The type of vinegar you use will affect the flavor of your pickled onions. White vinegar is a good all-purpose choice, but you can also use apple cider vinegar, rice vinegar, or even champagne vinegar for a more unique flavor profile.
  • Add some aromatics: To add extra flavor to your pickled onions, you can add some aromatics like garlic, ginger, peppercorns, or bay leaves to the pickling liquid.
  • Let the onions pickle for at least 30 minutes: The longer you let the onions pickle, the more flavorful they will be. However, you can enjoy them after just 30 minutes of pickling if you're short on time.
  • Store the pickled onions properly: Once the onions are pickled, they can be stored in a jar or container in the refrigerator for up to 2 months.

Conclusion:

Quick pickled sweet onions are a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used to add flavor to salads, sandwiches, tacos, and more. They're also a great way to use up leftover onions. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make your own delicious quick pickled sweet onions at home.
