My quick pink pickled onion recipe.

Ingredients.

1 large red onion, thinly sliced
150ml white wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar
1 tbsp sugar
1 tsp salt
Optional: a few peppercorns or a pinch of chilli flakes for extra flavour

Method

In a bowl or jar, whisk together the vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved.
Add the sliced red onions and any optional extras like peppercorns or chilli flakes.
Press the onions down so they’re fully submerged, then leave to sit at room temperature (they’ll start turning pink after 20–30 mins).
Transfer to the fridge, they’ll keep for up to a week and get even better with time.
