Any pickled onion enjoyers? What else would you add in?


Pictured is sweet red onions, jalapeno, pepper corns, and the brine is half water half white vinegar, some unmeasured amount of salt, sugar, MSG, and some Italian herb seasoning.

    Did you check to make sure it was a spicy jalapeño?

    I tried a simpler version of the same, but the 4 jalapeños i used were disappointing. Swapped them out for serranos and it was golden.

    Carrots, garlic, and jalapeños. It’s my favorite pickled combo. I use rice wine vinegar, water, and honey for pickling.

    Some Mexican oregano! Especially good on tacos or any Latin food. Crush it a bit with your fingers to release the oils

    Additional seeds – coriander, cumin, and even a bit of celery seeds.

    Garlic for sure.

    Bay leaf/leaves.

    And maybe one small, cleaned and peeled carrot.

    I always add some whole grain mustard. Great for flavor

    Literally just made a batch 15min ago. I put bay leaf, peppercorn, crushed garlic cloves and usually chili but I used a chili blend spice as I was out of fresh chili.

    Put that on a carnitas taco

    Try rice vinegar. No water needed.

    I LOVE pickled onions. Thanks for the recipe. This is excellent. I’m going to try it with the garlic as someone suggested.

    You could try adding szechuan peppercorns. If you having tried them, the first time feels like you’re having an allergic reaction as it has a numbing effect. In the pickled onions the numbing effect is pretty mild. But it’s pretty interesting.

    Let’s get seeds in there while we’re at it

    Opposite point but DO NOT add cloves. Trust me don’t do it. Such a wierd, kind of numbing flavour/sensation

    PIckled beets and onions are great. 50/50 on the beets onions, 50/50 on the brine with added pickling spice and sugar to your taste. Water bath in a canner for 15 to 20 minutes and then let it sit on the shelf for at least four weeks before enjoying. (Also when all you got left is the brine put a few peeled hard boiled eggs in the jar and let sit in the fridge for three or four days)

    I would put my fingers in there plucking the tasty onions out and eating them til they are gone

    You … you … you can’t throw up this kind of deliciousness and not share the recipe!!

    the italian seating might’ve had some but more oregano wouldnt hurt!! I fell in love with oregano in pickled items when I first had salvadoran curtido

    Fuuuuck yiiiisssss love love pickled onions. Absolutely the best on carne asada tacos

  34. Vast_Tip8225

    I love adding a little bit of carrots and jalapeños, and use some juice to make some pickled pink radishes

  35. bruhls_rush_in

    Nothing. As many of my old chefs would say – “keep it simple, stupid.”

    I’ve done blueberries before, surprisingly good, and you get an even more vibrant color on them.

    In Mexico we mix onions, habaneros,fresh pineapple and lemon juice as a topping for tacos (this is an extra topping to the traditional toppings like diced onions, salsa or roasted pineapple)

    We do pickled onions and cucumbers.
