Easy Red Onion Pickle

I love to have a jar of quick pickled red onions in the fridge to add extra colour and flavour to meals. They are delicious alongside grilled or roasted meat, as an addition to wraps or a milder way to enjoy onion in salads.

I love to have a jar of Easy Red Onion Pickle in the fridge to add extra colour and flavour to meals. They are delicious alongside grilled or roasted meat, as an addition to wraps or a milder way to enjoy onion in salads.

Ingredients

1 red onion/s (large) halved and finely sliced
120 ml apple cider vinegar (½ cup)
2 tbsp coconut sugar or rapadura - or sweetener of your choice
1 tsp sea salt

Instructions

Place the apple cider vinegar, sweetener and salt in a small saucepan and bring to the boil, stirring to dissolve all ingredients.
Place the onions into a mason jar or airtight jar.
As the pickling liquid comes to the boil, pour it over the onions, making sure you press the onions down to be mostly covered by the liquid. They do collapse as they pickle so for the first hour or so give them a stir until they are below the vinegar.
Set the onions aside for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, then they are ready to used or store in the fridge for up to a week.

Serve

Delicious alongside grilled or roasted meat, as an addition to wraps or a milder way to enjoy onion in salads.
Serve with one of our fabulous Dhal recipes or any of the curries.

Store

In an airtight container for up to a week.
