step by step

Method

  1. Slice the onions

    • Cut the onions from the bottom up to the root, then slice them as thinly as possible.
    • Thinner slices absorb the brine better.
    • Separate the rings with your fingers and pack them into a glass jar or Mason jar.
    Step 1
  2. Make the brine

    • Bring the mixture to a boil.
    Step 2
  3. Pour over the onions

    • Cover with a piece of cheesecloth or a paper towel.
    Step 3
  4. Chill and pickle

    • Refrigerate for a couple of hours or overnight so the onions soak up all the flavor.
    • The pickles keep in the fridge for about 2 weeks.
