/ck/ - Food & Cooking

I made them last night for the first time on a whim and I was blown away at the ease to tasty scale. If you have salt onions and vinegar I highly recommend. Whole thing took me less than 25 minutes and I'll never have a fridge without them now.

I sliced 1 red onion thinly, filled two 14 oz jars with half an onion and 2 cloves of garlic each. Measured each jar halfway with water, doubled the water volume with white vinegar then added 3% salt of the liquid weight. I added half a dash of apple cider vinegar to one jar. Brought the salt/liquid mixture to a low boil then added back to jars and left until cooled. Super excited to mess around with sugar and more aromatics in future batches.

How do you pickle your onions, bros?

Redpill me on pickled onions. What are they used with/on and are they good?

Made a jar of pickled red onions today and it tastes as horrendous as it smells. I think it might be because I used malt vinegar (distilled). Would regular white or red vinegar have yielded a more palatable taste?

I haven't actually tried pickled onions before so for all I know this is what they taste like. I find that unlikely though, given how tasty I find pickled gherkins.
