Tips for Quick Pickled Red Onion Recipe

– If you want super fast pickling, slice the onions extra thin. Thin slices soak up the vinegar mixture quickly and become ready even faster.

– Apple cider vinegar gives a slightly sweeter, fruitier flavor. White vinegar gives a cleaner, sharper tang. Both are good, so use what you have.

– If you want less bite, pour boiling water over the sliced onions and drain them before pickling. This removes some of the sharpness before the vinegar step.

– If the onion flavor feels too strong at first, let them sit a little longer. Time is your friend here. The longer they rest, the more mellow they become.

Ingredients :

• 1 large red onion
• 1 cup vinegar white vinegar or apple cider vinegar both work
• 1 cup warm water
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1 ½ teaspoons salt
• 1 garlic clove smashed
• A few peppercorns

How to Make Quick Pickled Red Onion Recipe :

Step 1

Start by peeling the red onion and slicing it thin. The thinner the slices, the faster they pickle. You can use a sharp knife and take your time, or use a mandoline if you have one. Try to keep the slices even so they pickle at the same speed.

Step 2

Place the sliced onions into a clean heat-safe jar or bowl. Pack them in gently but do not smash them down. You want the liquid to reach all the slices evenly.

Step 3

In a separate bowl or measuring cup, mix the vinegar, warm water, sugar, and salt. Stir until the sugar and salt are completely dissolved. The water should be warm but not boiling. Warm water helps everything dissolve faster and starts softening the onions right away.

Step 4

Pour the vinegar mixture over the onions until they are fully covered. If you are adding garlic, peppercorns, chili flakes, or bay leaf, add them now. Press the onions down gently with a spoon to make sure everything is submerged.

Step 5

Let the onions sit at room temperature for at least 20 to 30 minutes. During this time, they will turn bright pink and lose their harsh raw taste. Taste one and see if you like the balance. If you want them tangier, let them sit longer.

Once they taste right to you, they are ready to eat or store in the fridge.
