Pickled Red Onion

Pickled Red Onion

Pickled red onions are a great addition to tacos, sandwiches, or topping a cream cheese smeared bagel. I add a couple slices of red radishes to help keep the red bright (plus they are delicious pickled too) longer.

Number of servings: 32

Ingredients

  • 1 red onion, thinly sliced
  • a few thin slices of red radish
  • 1/2 cups apple cider vinegar
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1/8 teaspoons Lite salt
  • ½ teaspoon red chile flakes
  • 1 teaspoon black peppercorns
  • 1 whole clove
  • 1 small bay leaf

Preparation

Thinly slice the onion and radish with a mandolin or slicer on a food processor.

Place the vinegar, water, sugar, salt, chile flakes, peppercorns, cloves, and bay leaf in a small pot over low heat. Bring to a boil, and then turn off the heat.

Pour the brine into the jar over the sliced onion, leaving at least ½ inch at the top. Seal the jar, and let come to room temperature. Refrigerate at least overnight before serving. The pickles will keep for up to 8 weeks.
