Pickled Red Onions

I have loved these pickled red onions that I still needed to do from my list of meals to cook and conquer  from last year. It's so incredible that sometimes in life you are into cooking, and then suddenly you are not AT ALL. So last year was my cooking year, but this year it has definitely been NOT my priority (I am sure you have noticed giving my lack of publishing). 

How important it is to ride the waves of the moment!!! because moments come and then they just leave! and the chance may not be there anymore to explore any given topic, like this one. 

So! after this long prologue, here is this simple yet impressive recipe that Courney Adamo published the other day in her Instagram, and remided me that I yet needed to learn to pickle vegetables. 

So here it is:

INGREDIENTS:
-4 small red onions or 2 big ones. 
-1 cup of water.

-1/2 white vinegar.

-1/2 apple vinegar.

-2 +1/2 tablespoons of honey.

-1 teaspoon of sugar.

-2 + 1/2 tsp of salt.

-1/2 tsp of red pepper flakes.

STEPS:
1. So this brine could not be more simple! Just slice all the onions thinly and place in jar. 
2. Add all the ingredients in a little pot and bring to a simmer for 1 minute.
3. Add the brine into the jar and let it sit there until cools off. Once it cools off place in fridge.

That's it. They are pretty great these onions for sandwiches, salads, a bit of a crunch and colour and obviously it takes away the spiciness of the onions, it changes the flavour. A great easy recipe that will make you feel like you have achieved true womanhood.
