Why You’ll Love These Pickled Onions

These quick pickled onions are the ultimate way to add brightness, crunch, and tang to almost any dish. They take just 15 minutes to prepare, store well in the fridge, and are endlessly versatile—great with fish and chips, burgers, sandwiches, tacos, or salads.
Unlike store-bought versions, you control the flavor—sweet, tangy, spicy, or mild.

Ingredients

(Serves: ~1 jar | Prep Time: 5 minutes | Pickling Time: 10 minutes | Total Time: 15 minutes)

  • 2 medium red onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup white vinegar (or apple cider vinegar for a milder taste)
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tbsp salt
  • 1 tsp whole peppercorns (optional)
  • 1 clove garlic, smashed (optional)
  • ½ tsp chili flakes (optional, for heat)

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1 – Prepare the onions
Peel and slice the onions thinly into rings or half-moons for even pickling.

Step 2 – Make the pickling liquid
In a small saucepan, combine vinegar, water, sugar, and salt. Heat over medium flame until sugar and salt dissolve. Remove from heat.

Step 3 – Add flavorings
Add peppercorns, garlic, and chili flakes to the jar if using. These boost flavor.

Step 4 – Fill the jar
Place the sliced onions in a clean glass jar and pour the hot pickling liquid over them until fully submerged.

Step 5 – Cool & refrigerate
Let the jar cool to room temperature before sealing. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving for best flavor.

Serving Suggestions

  • With fish and chips 🐟🍟
  • On burgers and sandwiches
  • As a topping for tacos or wraps

Storage Tips

  • Store in an airtight jar in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.

Pro Tips for the Best Pickled Onions

  • Use red onions for vibrant color and mild flavor.
  • Add fresh herbs like thyme or dill for variety.
  • Slice onions thinly for faster pickling.

FAQs
