How to make pickled red onions
You will be surprised to know that this recipe is very easy. The big surprise is the taste. Have you ever had pickled onions that needed a spicy kick of freshness? Noubess Original Hot and Spicy Sauce delivers just that. You have salty, sweet, and spicy in one jar!
Here’s what you need to do:
- Prepare a mason jar. Preferably one that is easy to open. (wash with hot water and soap or in the dishwasher). Wipe well inside and out.
- Slice the red onions as thin as you can! I use a sharp knife because I don’t need the onions to be paper-thin. You can also use a mandoline if you prefer.
- Add the onion slices in the jar.
- In a saucepan add the remaining ingredients starting with the vinegar. Stir well and bring to a simmer. Do not boil!
- Pour the vinegar mixture into the jar and cover with the lid.
- Let marinate for at least 30 minutes before serving.
- Store in your refrigeration for up to 2 weeks.
Should you customize this recipe?
You can certainly do so. But I will advise you not to until you try the recipe first. The hot sauce gives it a lot of flavors. And remember, the more hot sauce you use, the spicier your Pickled Onions will be.
