Ingredients for Arabian Pickled Onions

  • 2 large red onions
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • Sugar
  • Wine Vinegar
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh mint leaves

How to Make Arabian Pickled Onions

  1. Peel 2 large red onions and thinly slice them.
  2. In a medium bowl, gently toss the sliced onions with 2 teaspoons of salt. Let this sit for 10 minutes to draw out moisture.
  3. Add 1 cup of white wine vinegar (or apple cider vinegar), 1/4 cup water, and 1/4 cup chopped fresh mint leaves to the onions.
  4. Gently stir to combine, ensuring all the onions are coated.
  5. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or preferably longer for a more intense flavor. The longer they sit, the better they taste!
  6. Serve chilled and enjoy these versatile pickled onions as a topping or side dish.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
