Ingredients
  • 3 Red onions (smaller organic ones if possible)
  • 130g Merlot Red Wine Vinegar
  • 335g Water
  • 60g Granulated or caster sugar
  • 16g Fine sea salt, plus a little extra for the onions
  • 1 Orange, for 2 strips of orange zest
  • 2tsp Dried oregano
  • 1 Garlic clove, peeled and thickly sliced
Method
  • Step 0: You will 2 or 3 jam jars for this recipe. Clean the jars in hot soapy water then rinse. Sterilise them by pouring boiling water over and allowing to air-dry or place in and oven at 120C fan/140C non-fan until dry, then allow to cool.
  • Step 1: Make up the pickle by combing the vinegar, water, sugar, salt, orange zest (use a peeler), oregano and garlic and bring to the boil. Allow to infuse for 15 mins whilst you prep the onions.
  • Step 2: Peel and thinly slice onions, into rings or strips, place in a bowl, add a few pinches of salt to coat and separate, then leave for 15 minutes. This will help soften the onions.
  • Step 3: Pack the onions into jars, but not too tightly. Bring pickle back to the simmer then pour over the onions. Allow to cool then seal with a lid and place in the fridge. They are ready to eat in around 6 hours but are best left for 24 as they continue to improve. They will last for at least a couple of weeks, if kept sealed and refrigerated.
