- Standing time: 4 hours
- Total Time: 4 hours 5 minutes
- Yield: a jar of pickled red onions
- Category: Condiment
- Method: Pickling
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 medium-sized red onion
- 2-3 large limes
You will also need -
a glass jar with a secure lid
Instructions
- Slice up the red onion, very thinly.
- Stuff the sliced onions into a glass jar with a lid.
- Squeeze the limes - you need enough juice to barely cover the sliced onion inside the jar.
- Pour the juice over the onions.
- Screw on the lid and give it a good shake to be sure that all the slices are submerged in the citrus juice.
- Leave in the fridge overnight or for at least 4 hours.
- As the onions sit in the juice, their colour will intensify and in parallel, their flavour intensity will mellow.
- Store in the fridge for up to two weeks.
Notes
- You can replace limes with lemons if that's what you have available - or indeed mix the two juices together.
- You will need to adjust the number of limes depending on how juicy they are.
- The quantity of ingredients will depend on the size of your jar and how serious your addiction is!
