Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Red onions
- 1 cup Apple cider vinegar
- 1 cup Water
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black peppercorns
- 1 teaspoon Mustard seeds
- 2 whole Garlic cloves
- 1 leaf Bay leaf
Instructions
Peel and thinly slice the red onions into rings using a sharp knife or mandoline slicer for uniformity.
In a medium-sized jar or glass container, combine the apple cider vinegar, water, and salt, stirring until the salt is fully dissolved.
Add the black peppercorns, mustard seeds, and bay leaf to the liquid mixture.
Peel the garlic cloves and add them whole to the jar, allowing their flavor to seep through the marinade.
Place the sliced onions into the jar, pressing them down with a spoon so they are fully submerged in the vinegar solution.
Seal the jar tightly with a lid and give it a gentle shake to combine the ingredients well.
Allow the onions to marinate for at least 1 hour before serving. For best flavor, let them sit in the refrigerator for 24 hours.
Store the marinated onions in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. Stir or shake the jar occasionally to ensure even distribution of the marinade.
