To add on, pickle a bunch of vegetables! Leftover carrots, onions, cauliflower, and tons of others make great pickles for salads, sandwiches, rice bowls, and more!

Pickled onions are just so good and versatile. Toss some salt, water, and white vinegar and let those babies pickle!

Restaurant trick: slice onions thin, salt them lightly for 10 minutes to start osmosis, then drain before pickling. This pre-treatment makes them absorb flavor faster while maintaining bite. The same technique works beautifully with shaved radishes and thin-sliced green onions in spring.

Best way is to heat up the red wine vinegar on the stove with the onions added, they pickle almost immediately instead of having to wait

**For the novices**: How do we do this? it would certainly help if people add their cool concoctions and instructions on how best to pickle Onions etc…
**For example**: My grandpappy used to make a mixture of boiled water and white vinegar, add a smidg of sugar, rub the onions (sliced thin) on his arm pits and groin ‘*for the salt*’ he would say, and he would leave it until the smell of onion would dissipate from his body, then he would say it’s ready.

To add onto this discussion. What is the shortest you reckon you can pickle onions? An hour? 30 minutes? Maybe even 5 mins would be nice?

Pecked red onion is awesome and so easy to prepare. It goes with just about anything.

Red onion, carrot & cucumber are my picked dream.

In out house home we usually have 2-3 delis with pickled onions in them. We also have been utilizing more of the liquid in our cooking over the usual citrus on certain items

I’ll pickle *your* onions.

He got a bunch of diced onion I’ll need to toss soon and I don’t ever pickle anything. Just soak in vinegar for a few hours or what?

Start with 1 cup water, 1 cup vinegar, 1 Tbsp sugar, 1 Tbsp salt. Heat in microwave to dissolve salt and sugar, pour over veggies in a jar.
From there, start adding peppercorns, thyme, red pepper flakes, cumin, turmeric, mustard seeds, and/or crushed garlic to the bottom of the jar. Store in the fridge.

I liked the mixed pickle with cauliflower, when its done I keep the jar and add veg to it, could do a boiled egg if you like that but its a shame to waste, any veg pickled goes great on a cheese sandwich.

To add to this: pickle your grapes or strawberries (work good for me) with lemon juice and zest, with some basil or pepper corns. That is friggin nuts!

What a coincidence! Just ate home made salmon fajitas with white cabbage, a yoghurt/avocado cream and… freshly pickled red onions!! Ratio 1 cup vinegar, 1 table spoon coco blossom sugar, 1 tea spoon salt. Heat the mix until all ingredients are melted and mixed, than add sliced onion

Quick ratio: 1 cup vinegar, 1 cup water, 2 tbsp salt, 1 tbsp sugar. Heat until salt dissolves, pour over sliced onions while hot, cool completely before jarring. Lasts 3 weeks easy. Apply the same base to radishes and spring onions before they wilt.

If you like spicy add some Serrano or habanero and lime juice ! And salt of course

The real question is, how long do the pickle veggies stay good in your fridge?

Ponzu sauce is my latest pickle obsession, It’s sooooo good I end up eating the onions alone.
