Pickled red onions with jalapenos

Learned this culinary school and have used this recipe ever since enjoy

Can be used as a snack or salad topping.

One afternoon I thought about eating tacos and said to myself, what better than a pickled red onion?

Use for salads, sandwiches, tacos, nachos, etc.

great addition to sandwiches and such, so easy to make, so beautiful if you use red onions

Delicious

These are easy and go great in Salads, Sandwiches, Wraps, Soups, Flatbreads, and with grilled meats.

My brother-in-law, André, enjoys gardening and grows loads of beautiful jalapeños especially for me. I love them and use in a lot of my recipes. They're quick and easy to pickle for the fridge. I strongly recommend wearing latex gloves when handling the jalapeños. We had a couple of leftover mini bells sweet peppers from André's garden that I also used because I liked the red/green contrast. Then he brought in a mess of beautiful banana peppers, and I thought what the heck....in they went. They're delicious!

This recipe is not an original. I learnt the basics from my Aunty and have since altered some ingredients and methods which I found by trial and and error and my good friend google. For instance I learnt from the internet that if you soak your onions in boiling water for about 30 seconds, then put them in the sink with cold water, peeling them is so much easier. I use a pressure cooker to sterilize my jars. You can add up to 1 tbspn of brown sugar to the vinegar mix to sweeten a little. Use any vinegar you prefer, this is a good recipe to experiment with. Omit the chilli flakes if you dont like them but the finished onions are not very hot and the chilli does give a nice subtle tang. One other tip. If you double up on the recipe, no need to use double the amount of salt. I use just a pinch or so more only when I prepare 2 kilos of onions.

Finally jumped on the bandwagon. So easy. You will be tempted to put them on EVERYthing!
