Quick-Pickled Red Onions

 

 

🥣 Instructions
STEP 1 – SLICE THE ONIONS

Use a sharp knife or mandoline to slice the onion thinly (about 1/8-inch thick).
Pack the slices tightly into a clean glass jar or container (like a mason jar).

STEP 2 – MAKE THE BRINE

In a small saucepan, combine:

Vinegar

Water

Sugar

Salt

Heat over medium heat until the sugar and salt completely dissolve — about 2 minutes.
(You don’t need to boil it, just make sure it’s clear and hot.)

 

 

 

STEP 3 – POUR THE BRINE

Carefully pour the hot liquid over the onions in the jar until they’re fully submerged.
Tap the jar gently on the counter to release any trapped air bubbles.

STEP 4 – COOL & CHILL

Let the jar sit uncovered for about 30 minutes to cool at room temperature.
Once cool, cover with a lid and refrigerate.
They’re ready in 30–60 minutes, but for best flavor and color, chill at least 2 hours or overnight.
