Quick Pickled Onions
Quick Pickled Onions
A quick and easy topping to any of your favorite foods!
Something about Pickled Onions that seem to take any dish to the next level. Most pickled onions take time and have sugar in them (which is a no in my world). This version is fast, only a few clean ingredients and zero sugar… that’s a good recipe in my books!
These take about as much time as it takes you to slice onions and boil water… well maybe about 1 - 2 minutes longer. But that’s pretty quick.
Here I have them on carnitas (take my pulled pork recipe and crisp it up in a frying pan with a little oil), add to a BBQ sandwiches (take my pulled pork recipe and heat with BBQ Sauce for a cheater version) or top your burger… the possibilities are endless!
With only 4 simple and clean ingredients, you may be surprised how easy these onions are to make:
Onions (prefer red)
Apple Cider Vinegar
Water
Salt
Go ahead and give it a try… if you do, please let me know below.
I hope you enjoy this as much as I do!
