'Cebolla Curtida' - Pickled Onions

Pink Pickled Onion

Serving: 1 extra large jar (serves 8 people comfortably with extra for later use)

Ingredients

• 5 red onions peeled and halved
• 140 ml lime juice (~3.5 large limes)
• 100 ml white wine vinegar
• 1.5 tbsp salt
• 1 tbsp oregano
• 0.75 tbsp sugar

Method

1. Prep the onions: slice the peeled onion halves into 0.25 cm thin half moon strips. Then tip the sliced onions into a container (best to use something like tupperware that has a lid so you can shake it well afterwards)
   
   
2. Add all remaining ingredients to the onions. Seal the tupperware container shut with the lid
   
   
3. Shake it: give the container a really good shake a few times to ensure the onion is well coated by the lime liquid mix
   
   
4. Store in the fridge and every so often give it another good shake to re-shuffle the liquid. It'll keep up to a few weeks!
