Pinkled Onions - Pink Pickled Onions

My homemade pink pickled onions (also known as pinkled onions!) are the perfect quick pickles to partner with salads, tacos, sandwiches, burgers, curries, chili, and so much more!

By adding these vibrant pink onions to your next dish, not only do you elevate its visual appeal—perfect for your next Instagram photo—but you also introduce a delightful tang that complements various flavours. 

Ingredients

  • 2 large red onion
  • 250 ml white wine vinegar
  • 3 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • lime wedge
  • 1 tsp mustard seeds
  • 1 tsp cardamom pods

Let's Dive In!

Stage 1 - Prepare the Pickling Liquid

In a small saucepan over high heat, combine the vinegar, sugar, salt, mustard seeds, and cardamom pods (if using). Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring until the sugar has completely dissolved.

250 ml white wine vinegar

3 tablespoons sugar 

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon mustard seeds (optional)

1 teaspoon cardamom pods (optional)

Stage 2 - Prepare the Onions

While the pickling liquid is heating, peel and thinly slice the red onion using a mandolin slicer for uniform thickness or slice with a chef knife. Place the sliced onions and a wedge of lime into a clean, sterilised glass jar.

Stage 3 - Combine and Store

Once the pickling liquid has boiled and the sugar has dissolved, carefully pour the hot mixture over the sliced onions in the jar, ensuring all onions are submerged. Let the jar stand at room temperature until cooled. Once cooled, cover with the lid and refrigerate. The pickled onions are ready to enjoy after about an hour and can be stored in the fridge for up to 4 weeks.

  • Get a mandolin for evenly sliced pickles. You will thank me for the new kitchen addition.
  • If you follow the same recipes above but add 1tsp turmeric to white onions instead of red onions, you'll have a bright yellow pickled onion. I like to add dried chillis and cardamon to this recipe.
