Quick Pickled Red Onion
1 large red onion
1/2 cup red wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar
1 Tablespoon sugar
1 tsp salt
1 cup water
Slice the onions as thinly as possible. Use either a very sharp knife or a mandolin.
In a jar or other glass container, put in the onions.
On the stovetop, heat all the other ingredients over medium to high heat and mix until the sugar and salt are dissolved. Pour this over the onions. Let cool for an hour, then store in the refrigerator.
The next day, your onions will be bright pink! You can experiment with adding other ingredients (peppercorns, jalapeños, garlic) or using other types of vinegar.
