Red onion pickle
These quick-pickled red onions bring a bright, sweet, and peppery lift, with a gentle aroma from bay leaves. They come together in about an hour, mostly hands-off while the onions brine and the vinegar cools. Once sealed, they'll keep in the fridge for up to four weeks, ready to add a sharp, piquant note to anything from sandwiches to salads.

Slice and Salt Onions
Peel the red onions, then halve them from top to bottom. Finely slice each half into half-moon pieces. Transfer the sliced onions to a colander set over a bowl and sprinkle with 2 teaspoons of sea salt, gently turning them with your hands until lightly coated. Let them sit for about an hour to brine; this process draws out moisture and mellows their raw bite. - 02
