Ingredients

  • 2 onions medium-sized
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 2 tsps. sugar
  • 15-20 ml vinegar rice or apple cider
  • ½ cup water

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.
  • Before serving, drain the marinade.
