Equipment

  • a large jar with a lid
  • knife
  • spoon
  • etc

Ingredients

  • 250 milliliters of crisp and acidic white wine vinegar offering a bright and refreshing acidity to balance the flavors.
  • 2 fresh bay leaves imparting a subtle herbal essence and enhancing the aromatic profile of the dish.
  • 250 grams of delicate and slightly sweet white onions providing a mellow and subtle taste to complement the red onions.
  • ¼ of a bunch of fresh thyme with its fragrant and earthy notes, elevating the overall aroma of the dish.
  • 250 grams of vibrant and tangy red onions adding a pop of color and a mild pungency to the dish.
  • 250 milliliters of robust and aromatic red wine vinegar infusing the onions with a deep and complex flavor.

Instructions

  • Start by peeling your onions, and slicing them as thin as possible. Keep 2 colors of onion separate.
  • Start heating 2 pans each with 500ml of red wine vinegar & white wine vinegar, then add the red onions to one and the white onions to the other.
  • Add 2 sprigs of thyme, 2 bay leaves, and 1 tablespoon of black peppercorns to each pan. Simmer for 10 minutes until soft.
  • Place both colors into a large jar with a lid. Pour the remaining liquid over the onions, then seal the jar and leave to cool.
  • Refrigerate for up to 2 weeks before serving cold. It is best to eat them within 2 weeks of making them.

Notes

  • You can add other spices such as cinnamon, cardamom, or star anise for extra flavor and therefore can customize the pickle to your own liking.
  • For an even stronger flavor, leave the pickle for longer in the refrigerator and let it sit for up to 4 weeks.
  • This pickle recipe is also great for other vegetables like cauliflower, celery, or cucumbers. Plus, you can also prepare it with other spices or herbs that you prefer.
  • If you are looking for a spicier flavor, you can add some chili flakes or other spices of your choice.
