Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium white onions
- 1 cup white vinegar
- 0.5 cup water
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black peppercorns
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 leaf bay leaf
- 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.25 teaspoon red chili flakes (optional)
Instructions
Peel the white onions and slice them into thin rings or half-moons, depending on your preference.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the white vinegar, water, granulated sugar, and salt until the sugar and salt have completely dissolved.
Crush the garlic cloves lightly with the flat side of a knife to release their flavor, but leave them whole.
Add the peppercorns, garlic cloves, bay leaf, dried oregano, and optional red chili flakes to the vinegar mixture, stirring to combine.
Place the sliced onions in a large, clean glass jar or a bowl with a tight-fitting lid.
Pour the vinegar mixture over the onions, ensuring the onions are completely submerged.
Cover the jar or bowl tightly and let the onions marinate for at least 30 minutes at room temperature. For best flavor, refrigerate for 1-2 hours or longer before serving.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
