Pickled Grilled Red Onions Recipes

Steps:

• In a bowl, whisk together the first four ingredients until sugar and salt dissolve. Place onions and optional ingredients, if desired, into large glass jar; pour vinegar mixture over onions. Seal and let stand at least 2 hours at room temperature. Refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil grate.
• Peel onions and trim root ends just slightly. Quarter the onions, keeping the layers intact with the remaining root ends. If necessary, use a toothpick to keep layers together while on the grill.
• Grill onions until slightly charred, about 5 minutes. Remove from the grill and place in a nonreactive bowl.
• Meanwhile, heat vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small non-reactive saucepan over medium heat. Stir until the sugar is dissolved. Pour hot liquid over the grilled onions and let stand for 10 to 15 minutes. Remove onions from liquid and refrigerate until ready to use.

Steps:

• Bring water to a boil in a saucepan.
• Stuff onion slices into a pint-size Mason jar. Pour some of the boiling water over the onions. Let rest for 10 seconds. Pour out water through a mesh strainer, keeping onions in the jar. Repeat twice more to cook onions slightly.
• Measure vinegar into a bowl. Stir in salt and sugar until dissolved. Add peppercorns. Pour vinegar solution over onions. Seal and shake well.
• Refrigerate at least 1 hour before serving so that the flavor develops.

Steps:

• Bring a medium pot of water to a rolling boil. Add the onions and cook for 30 seconds, then drain in a colander. Let cool slightly, then transfer to a sterilized glass container with a tight lid, such as a pint canning jar. Add the thyme. You want to make sure there is enough headroom at the top of the jar so that the vinegar solution can cover the onions.
• In a second medium pot, combine the vinegar, sugar and salt. Bring to a boil and stir until the sugar and salt are dissolved, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Pour the vinegar mixture over the onions in the jars, making sure the onions are completely submerged. Let cool slightly.
• Cover and refrigerate until the onions turn pink and are seasoned throughout, at least 8 hours. Drain the onions and serve. The onions can be refrigerated in the pickling liquid for up to 2 weeks.
