Hello dear readers. Today I want to tell you a recipe for pickled onions in vinegar. Such a bow is made quickly. And our friend from Simferopol shared the secret of this recipe with us. When we rested in the Crimea, we agreed to meet at their dacha. And Igor, that's his name, is a colleague with whom we served together. And regular readers already know him, we told several recipes that Igor shared with us.

For those who don't know, Igor works as a cook in a restaurant in Simferopol. Yes, in other matters and not only in Simferopol. When the beach season comes, where he just did not work. And when we meet, he shares new interesting recipes with us. And it was he who quickly taught us how to pickle onions.

And what surprised me a little, in the midst of fresh vegetables and a variety of greens, they cook pickled onions for barbecue. Maybe because they cook Crimean onions, white or blue, but already in the fresh season. Such a bow is not as sharp as our usual one. But according to this recipe, I have repeatedly pickled onions, and not only sweet, but also the one that grows in our latitudes, and it turns out quite tasty.

For this we need:

The ingredients are very simple, and everyone in the kitchen has it all. Let's start cooking with onions. Peel and cut the onion into half rings, well, or as you wish. Pour the onion into a bowl and fill with plain water. We had bulbs larger than average, and their total weight was 450 grams.

Now we take a glass of water, pour it into a bowl or jar, where it will be more convenient to mix. Add two tablespoons of sugar and one teaspoon of salt. Mix and add vinegar, the most common 9% table vinegar.

If there are greens, then you can add for beauty and taste. For example, if you add 5-7 grams, then the taste will not be affected. But if parsley, then the taste will change a little. Not by much, but it will change.

Pour out the water in which the onion stood, and add finely chopped greens. We cooked with dill and parsley. Today in the photo we have dill here, and parsley in the first photo. And you can combine greens. The main thing is not much.

Pour the onion with our prepared syrup and leave for 30 - 40 minutes. This is enough time for the onions to marinate. You can leave to marinate in a bowl or in a jar.

After 40 minutes, the onion can be served on the table. It can be served as a separate dish, or under a barbecue. Or even as a salad dressing. We also add it to salads. A good option for vitaminization, especially in spring.

For example, I can eat such a pickled onion a whole plate even without bread. Just like a salad. I wanted to take the final photo with a piece of barbecue, but for some reason the pickled onion did not live up to the barbecue. He disappeared too quickly, and the weather is now failing, it is getting colder. For example, yesterday morning it was below 10 degrees.

But I managed to take a photo of the onion in the salad.

This salad was liked by our household, especially the adult part. The taste of onions blended very harmoniously with fresh cucumbers, lettuce, olives, sweet peppers and tomatoes. We just dressed this salad with olive oil and balsamic vinegar, and now we just added less vinegar.

It's like a variety. We love to experiment with different ingredients, and we get wonderful tasty salads with new additions.

Such a salad of pickled onions should not be made in reserve, it acquires extra sourness (they tried to store it for more than a day in brine). If you really want to save, then without brine. Just place in a tray and refrigerate. So the onion will remain tasty even after two days. We usually eat it right away and don't have to store it for long.

How many wonderful recipes can be prepared using one simple ingredient - pickled onions. Sour, slightly spicy onion rings perfectly set off the taste of salted fish, are used in salads, preservation, and even simply fried in breadcrumbs. So why not figure out how to make delicious pickled onions on your own and abandon the purchased product forever.

Preparing Pickled Onions

Before proceeding directly to the recipes, let's look at the main nuances of the onion pickling process. There are few of them, but each of them requires attention.

Onions are distinguished by their peculiar taste due to the presence of flavonoids - chemical compounds that "repel" microbes (yes, that's why in childhood you were forced to eat onions and garlic in winter). To remove some of the flavonoids, and with them the bitterness, any acid-containing compounds help: vinegar, lemon juice and others. Such organic acids are diluted with water to reduce their concentration, and at this stage the first difficulty occurs: warm water increases the pickling time of the onion, therefore, using express recipes, do not forget to cool it or pour boiling water over the onion before pickling. Hot water removes bitterness more effectively in less time. Another nuance that will speed up the process of removing flavonoids is proper chopping: the finer the onion is chopped, the faster it will be ready for use. That, in general, that's all, let's move on to the recipes.
