Another thing we sometimes like to enjoy with our wine and cheese lunches is a can of sardines in tomato sauce topped with quickled red onions.

A little bit of mayo spread on a slice of baguette and topped with some sardine and onions is lovely with a bit of bubbly or a crisp white or rosé.

Excess onions are a great pickle to enjoy with the salumi or charcuterie, too.

Pour the boiling water over the sliced onions, add 1 teaspoonful kosher salt, stir to mix, and let the onions sit for 20 to 25 minutes.
2

Drain all the excess liquid and add the rest of the salt (1/2 teaspoon) and lime juice and gently massage as you toss. This will help bring out that beautiful jewel tone of the red onion.
3

Chill onions for 15 to 20 minutes before serving if you can.

Plate sardines, put some onions on top, and sprinkle with your chopped fresh herbs.
