Pickled Onions

Pickled onions is nowadays something that can be eaten with almost anything that’s not sweet; let it be salads, sandwich, cheese, burger, soups and other warm meals. I love pickled onions as much as I love the tamil achcharu 😉 And guess what?? I can even eat pickled onions with rice & curry 😉

To make pickled onions red onions are best, and adding lime juice adds more colour to the onions as well as it is healthier. The recipe below makes a jar of 400 g. Cutting the onions in rings before making pickle is easier.

The onions can be kept in a refrigerator for 4 weeks.

To give it more flavour or spice, you can add chili, fennel seeds, cumin, coriander or fresh thyme to the mixture.
