Pickled Red Onions

This is one of my favorite recipes. Using red onions, these slightly sweet onions turn a deep, rich red color and look beautiful in a jar in the fridge. They also look amazing when brought to the table. I enjoy serving them as a condiment with my tacos, flautas, and pupusas. They’re also excellent in salads and on your favorite burger. 

Ingredients:

1½ cups boiling hot water

1 cup distilled white vinegar

3 tablespoons sugar

½ teaspoon Mexican oregano

1/8 teaspoon salt

1 medium red onion (cut in half and sliced thin)

1 Serrano chili (halved lengthwise, seeds removed – do not use unless you like it hot!)

1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Directions:

In a glass mixing bowl, combine hot water, vinegar, sugar, oregano and salt. Stir until the sugar and salt are totally dissolved. Add onions, chili and pepper flakes. Stir to blend. Cover and refrigerate overnight. Chill until ready to use. 

Tip: Add thinly sliced carrots to the mix!
