Recipe and source notes

Pickled Spring Onions

6 servings Source yield

Ingredients

  • 2 bn green onion
  • 1 cup rice vinegar or 1 cup white wine vinegar 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 tablespoons sugar

Make it step by step

  1. Wash green onions under cold water and trim shaggy tips. Trim away green leafy ends about 2 centimetres above the white. You should have clean, mostly white onions with light green tips. Place onions standing up in a clean jar tall enough to hold them.
  2. Stir together the vinegar and sugar. Pour over onions to cover. If you've still got room to cover, make up the difference with a little water.
  3. Allow onions to marinate in the fridge for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight. Will keep for several weeks in refrigerator.
  4. These fresh and snappy onions make a terrific garnish/snack for savoury pre-dinner cocktails. Try them with a Bloody Mary or in a Martini (in which case you might be inadvertently serving a "Debbie Gibson").
