Quick Pickled Red Onions are one of the most versatile condiments. They are so easy to make and will spruce up any dish. From Perfect Scrambled Eggs to Green and White Slow Cooker Chicken Chile or a Crab Cake Sandwich, these little guys pack a punch.
The recipe is simple. Pack a jar with thinly sliced red onions. Investing in a good mandolin makes quick work of this. Add vinegar, water, salt, and sugar to a small saucepan and bring it to a simmer. Once the salt and sugar dissolve, pour the hot liquid into the jar. Screw on the lid and place it in the fridge for at least an hour. It is that simple!
I have tried making Quick Pickled Red Onions with several types of vinegar. My preference is lightly seasoned rice wine vinegar. But, it is fun to experiment so try whatever you have on hand.
Once you start making Quick Pickled Red Onions regularly you will wonder why you didn't know about them earlier. These can be kept in the fridge for a couple of weeks. Enjoy and happy pickling!
