Instructions
Cut onion into the shape that you need. In salads, I like to use onion slices, for burgers and as a snack – rings, and chopped onion I use for sauces and dips.
Make the marinade for pickling. In a saucepan combine water with salt and sugar. Let the mixture boil and then pour vinegar. Take the saucepan from the stove.
Put sliced onion into the deep bowl, pour marinade over it and make sure that all the onion is covered and the mixture is distributed evenly.
Set onion aside for at least 30 to 40 minutes to marinate. Sometimes I leave it overnight in the fridge or if I have friends for dinner or barbecue, I pickled onion in the morning. The flavor is much more intense.
