OMG if you like chillies and you like pickled onion this is a must - would go well with roast pork too.
I did these thursday night for our BBQ on Good Friday to go with the Burgers, have to make more for all my Chilli addictive friends.. excellent pressy to bring with you when attending BBQs.. :)
Ingredients
2 large red onions
1 cup sugar
1 cup red wine vinegar
A sprinkle or two Salt and Pepper
1 bay leaf
˝ teaspoon of chilli flakes
Instructions
Slice the onions as thinly as possible. You may find it useful to first slice them in half and lay them on their cut side before slicing them further. Cram the sliced onions into a large mason jar.
Pour the sugar, vinegar, bay leaf, chilli flakes into a small pot and bring to a boil with the salt and pepper. Pour the hot syrup over the onions; cover them and let rest overnight in the refrigerator before use.
Because sugar and vinegar are such great preservatives, these pickled onions will last indefinitely in your refrigerator. They’re at their best after a day or two in your fridge, once their flavours have had a chance to mature.
