    Peter Piper and all that, right!

    This is a very basic recipe for a quick, garlic pepper pickled onions; but you could swap out the onions for any other veggies.  It's an easy recipe to make with only a few basic pantry ingredients; but it really elevates a sandwich, salad, bowl, taco, pizza or practically anything.

    Try them as a garnish on this delicious tomato, cucumber, avocado salad to add a delicious sour crunch to each bite.  They are perfect on avocado toast, a toasted tomato and cucumber sandwich or banh mi. We love them on our tacos to add a nice garlicky, peppery, fresh, crunchy texture to each bite.

    These pickled onions are quick and easy to make.  Add salt and sugar to water - bring to boil. Peel and slice onions.  Place in jar (or jars if you want to share with friends).  Done!

    I hope you enjoy gobbling up your jar of pickled onions.

    Prep Time 5 mins
    Cook Time 2 mins
    Total Time 7 mins

    INGREDIENTS

    • 1 ½ cups white vinegar
    • 2 tbsp sugar
    • 1 tbsp salt
    • 1 large red onion, sliced thin
    • 2-4 cloves garlic (whole)*
    • 1 tsp peppercorn
    • pinch red pepper flakes (optional)

    INSTRUCTIONS
     

    • Add the vinegar, sugar, and salt into a medium sauce pan - stir while bringing it to a boil. Remove from heat. While it is cooling, prepare the onions.
    • Peel and slice red onion into thin ½ moons (I cut them in half again but consider what you will use them for and cut accordingly). Place them in a clean jar or two (you can push them down gently to fill the jar). Add the garlic cloves, black peppercorns, and a pinch of red pepper flakes if you want to bring a little heat to your pickled onions (this is optional).  
    • Pour the brine over the onions in the jar. Let cool, add the lid, and put in the fridge.
      These pickled onions can stay in the fridge for up to 6 months (but they won't last that long).
    • PRO TIPS:
      I peel but keep the garlic cloves whole. The size of the cloves and how garlicky you like your pickles will determine how many cloves you add.  I take my garlic out after the first day.
      Add peppercorns to taste. Depending how peppery you want the onions, add more or less whole peppercorns.
