Pickled Herb Red Onions

Method

  1. Prepare 3 to 4 small glass jars for pickling (or you can use just one big jar if you wish).
  2. Thinly slice the onions and distribute equally across each jar together with the herbs, garlic and peppercorns.
  3. Next, heat the vinegar, water, sugar, and salt in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir until the sugar and salt are dissolved (about 1 minute). Let cool and pour over the onions.
  4. Set the jars aside to cool to room temperature, then store in the fridge.
  5. Your pickled onions will be ready for consumption in a short time—about 1 hour for very thinly sliced onions, or overnight for thicker sliced onions.
  6. Will keep in the fridge for up to a month.

Extra Notes

Suggested herbs to use include thyme, rosemary, fennel and oregano.
