I love pickled onions, and had an idea...
Sort of used some of the ideas frydad had posted for piklese and other variations of pickled onions i have bought.
What you will need:
1. Jars to fit whole onions in
2. Whole onions to fit in jars (I wanted to do normal size onions instead of the tiny ones that are normally used)
3. Your own choice of chillis / peppers - the more colour variety the better it will look ( I used some bhut jolokia, naga morich, bell, cayenne, Orange habanero, red habanero, aji limon, green prik kee noo)
4. Vinegar
5. Salt
6. Whole Peppercorns
7. Cloves
8. Yellow Mustard Seeds
9. Black Mustard Seeds - optional
10. Coriander seeds - optional
11. Cumin Seeds - optional
You could vary this quite a bit and could add all sorts of other stuff..
When you de-skin the onions cut a slit to the centre to allow the goodness to seep in, put them in jars with teh chillis cut up. Throw in the rest of the stuff to taste.
I thought they needed something green so I used some green prik kee noo's .. these things are tiny but pack a punch.
Give them a jiggle and do a little dance and stick in the fridge for a few days .. fish out the whole onions and enjoy!
