Scott Conants Pickled Red Onions Recipes

Steps:

• In a bowl, whisk together the first four ingredients until sugar and salt dissolve. Place onions and optional ingredients, if desired, into large glass jar; pour vinegar mixture over onions. Seal and let stand at least 2 hours at room temperature. Refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.

Steps:

• Bring water to a boil in a saucepan.
• Stuff onion slices into a pint-size Mason jar. Pour some of the boiling water over the onions. Let rest for 10 seconds. Pour out water through a mesh strainer, keeping onions in the jar. Repeat twice more to cook onions slightly.
• Measure vinegar into a bowl. Stir in salt and sugar until dissolved. Add peppercorns. Pour vinegar solution over onions. Seal and shake well.
• Refrigerate at least 1 hour before serving so that the flavor develops.

Steps:

• For the salad: Combine the white vinegar, sugar, and 1 teaspoon salt in a small saucepan with 1/2 cup water. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat and then add the onions. Return the liquid to a simmer, then take off the heat and let stand 15 minutes; drain.
• Put the arugula in a large salad bowl and add a few of the pickled onions and all of the cherry tomatoes; toss to combine. (Reserve the remaining pickled onions for another use.)
• For the vinaigrette: Combine the olive oil, Champagne vinegar, honey, mustard, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a mason jar and shake vigorously until emulsified.
• Add just enough vinaigrette to lightly coat the salad and toss well. Season to taste with salt and pepper. The remaining vinaigrette can be kept refrigerated up to 1 week.

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients together in a medium bowl with 1 cup water. Refrigerate, covered, for at least 8 hours and up to 1 week.

Steps:

• Pour the vinegar into a pan, add the sugar, sea salt, the spices and bay leaf, and bring to a simmer. After 1 min, check that the sugar and salt have dissolved. Remove from the heat.
• Boil the kettle. Put the onion slices in a sieve or colander. Pour over the hot water from the kettle and drain well. When cool enough to handle, pack the onion rings into a 500g sterilised jar (see tip below). Pour over the warm vinegar and seal. Cool, then chill and leave to pickle for 2 hrs. Will keep for 6 months unopened, or 2 weeks in the fridge once opened.
