Pink onions are a fine thing, especially if you’re looking for great ways to enhance dishes. I often feel like I want to add that little extra flavor on my recipes. For this purpose, these bright pink bulbs are definitely suitable. They are not only a highlight in terms of taste, but also visually an eye-catcher. It’s super easy to make and the only thing you need is a little patience. I really like them on a topped slice of sourdough bread or as a topping on a mixed salad. I hope that I have piqued your interest with this and would say, let’s get started together.
Pink onion
The list of ingredients for our onion is short. Red onion, white wine vinegar or other light vinegar of choice, water, raw cane sugar and salt. The red onion is cut into rings and put into a canning jar. For the broth, I put white wine vinegar, water, sugar and salt in a small pot and bring it to a boil. Once the sugar has dissolved, pour the broth directly over the onion in the canning jar.
The glass is immediately screwed and goes directly into the refrigerator. Here, the onions are allowed to soak for one night and the next day they are suddenly no longer dark red, but pink. Now they can be consumed immediately. For me, they end up on a fresh piece of sourdough bread, salads or bowls.
TIP: If you don’t have white wine vinegar at home, you can also use apple cider vinegar. Please note that the brew may then become somewhat cloudy. Clear vinegars work best for this recipe.
