throughoutu腌红洋葱——主要食物the Yucatÿn peninsula — are one of our all-time favorite condiiments. They are wonderful piled on a burger, roll-up, or sandwich; tossed in a salad; or festooned over a plate of sliced tomatoes, drizzled with olive oil, and then finished off with a generous amount of freshly ground black pepper. They also make a colorful topping for just about any hors d'oeuvre.
Ingredients
Blanch 2 sliced red onions in a small saucepan of boiling water to cover for 1 minute and drain in a colander. Then return them to the pan and add a cup of cider vinegar, a teaspoon of salt, and just enough cold water to barely cover the onions. Bring to a boil over high heat and simmer the onions 1 minute. Transfer the onions and brine to a glass jar and chill. The onions will turn the color of a pink piñata and will get crisp as they cool. They'll keep for weeks in the refrigerator.

Back to TopMy go to recipe for pickled onions. Super easy & they stay good for awhile so you can use them in multiple dishes.

Easy, ridiculously easy! I have followed the recipe exactly but tossed in 2 split serrano peppers this last time which added a subtle heat. On their own, they are intense, but make a great condiment. I made them this last time for falafel sandwiches (//m.fonts4kids.com/recipes/food/views/my-favorite-falafel-231755) and they really add a nice touch.

I love the simplicity of this recipe! I made it exactly as in the recipe, and it was EXACTLY what I was looking for. Lots of compliments when served also.

This is really terrific. I added a couple of bay leaves and five or six whole allspice berries. Also a dried chili pepper and about a teaspoon of white sugar. Still very fresh and bright, but has a little more nuance. I LOVE these onions.

This was fast and easy - and yummy. The only thing I added was about 2 tsp whole pink peppercorns. We were having a tapas kind of dinner - salami, cheeses, bread, olives. The onions were especially wonderful with a goat-milk gouda (from Whole Foods). And I love that I now have a full jar of beautiful pink onions in the fridge.

These are just great on burgs and smoked sausages on a bun. Very yummy, I was surprised at how good it was.

i found the taste of these red onions fantastic as well as adding to compliment a meat or fish dish, tasteful,very decorative to the palet, as well as the plate, the only thing i did different was to use fresh black,red,green pepper freshly ground, as well as a salt substitite and a drop of balsamic vinegar
