American Vinegar Works Easiest Onion Pickling
Never fails!
This recipe features our Ultimate Red Wine Vinegar.
Which vinegar to use, and why
Rice vinegar is gentle enough to keep the onion crisp and let its own flavor through instead of flattening it. We use California Junmai Rice Wine Vinegar here. It is slow-fermented and aged in oak at our mill in Worcester, Massachusetts, which is why it seasons the dish rather than just souring it.
Make it ahead and keep it
It improves over the first few days in the fridge. Keep everything submerged in its liquid and use a clean spoon each time.
