Pickled Onions

Pickled Onions

Prep Time 5 minutes

Ingredients

  • One red onion thinly sliced
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ¼ cup white vinegar
  • ¼ lemon juice from the jar is fine
  • 1 jalapeno thinly sliced
  • 6 black peppercorns
  • 1-2 cloves of smashed garlic

Instructions

  1. In a microwave safe container mix all the sugar, salt, vinegar, and lemon juice, heat in the microwave just until hot. Stir until sugar and salt dissolve.
  2. Pour the brine over the thinly sliced onion, pepper corns, hot peppers, and garlic. If you like spice feel free to add more jalapeño or switch it up and go with habanero or Fresno peppers. I like to store them in a mason jar.
  3. Pickled onions only get better with time so feel free to make them in advance and store them in the fridge for a week or more. Don’t forget to fish out the peppercorns before you serve, someone could break a tooth.
