pickled red onions are a thing

These pickled red onions are Super-Happening in my life right now.

I’m pickling EVERYTHING to the likes of:

• red onions
• cucumbers
• peppers
• turnips
• yellow squash

And it won’t stop there the garden is in production mode and no vegetable shall be left unpickled. 🙂

This made from scratch DELICIOUSNESS adds value to your salads and sandwiches enhancing the flavor along with a bright pop of color that will liven up your taste buds.

So here’s how it went down.

First, you’ll need a large red onion sliced into thick slices.

Then, place the onions in the oven under broil to tenderize and charr, be careful not to burn.

Next, place your onions in a bowl add in orange juice, lime juice, sea salt, fresh homegrown oregano (dried will do), garlic, and black pepper. Mix, cover, and place in the fridge.

Then you wait…let the magic work its mojo.

Your imagination will run wild with the number of ways you can consume these briny, tart, tangy pickled red onions. For starters, add it to your sandwich to jump-start an amazing lunch, tuck them into your wraps, or use them as a condiment to top tacos- I welcome them all.

Pickling is fun and a great way to enhance the taste of spring. You can make it more complicated and venture in fermentation, but if I were you… just keep it simple for now.
