Quick Pickled Red Onions

There’s this show on Netflix called Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat and it really explains the essentials of any good dish. Flavor should balance and these components are exactly how you do it. When you taste something and you have that “something is missing” reaction it’s because you are short on one of these essential components. These Quick Pickled Red Onions definitely address acid.  If you’re eating a spicy dish like tacos or a rich juicy burger they are that perfect pop.  If you learn to balance flavors and hit all those notes successfully your cooking will sail to new heights.

How to Quick Pickle Onions

Normally you need to boil together sugar, salt and vinegar to make a pickling liquid.  I personally hate the smell of vinegar cooking so I explored ways to pickle without having to heat the liquid. The vinegar is really the work horse of this recipe and it successfully pickles the onions within 1 hour.  Quick Pickled Red Onions will stay fresh in your fridge for up to 2 weeks .  Just pull them out anytime you want to add zest to your dishes. Another great thing about these onions, they take away that distinct onion flavor.  If you find red onions too strong, pickling will probably fix that!
