Quick Pickled Red Onions Recipe
Quick pickled red onions are a staple in my fridge! You can add them to so many dishes for a punch of flavor.
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Total Time: 35 minutes
Makes: 16 oz jar
Ingredients
- 1 red onion , thinly sliced (about 1/8")
- 1/2 cup red wine vinegar (or sherry vinegar)
- 1/3 cup water
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin (optional)
Instructions
- Wash and sanitize a pint-sized glass mason jar. Fill the jar with the sliced onions and top with the oregano and cumin, if using.
- Make the brine. In a small saucepan, heat the vinegar, water, salt, and sugar together until just warm and the sugar and salt have dissolved. Cool the liquid for 5 minutes.
- Pour the warm brine over the onions. Place the lid on the jar and shake gently to disperse the spices.
- Keep in the refrigerator until ready to use. Homemade pickled onions will keep for 2-3 weeks in the refrigerator.
