Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cups thinly sliced red onion
  • 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon black peppercorns
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1/4 teaspoon coriander seed
  • 1 whole dried bay leaf
  • 2 cloves garlic smashed

Instructions
 

  • In a small sauce pan, bring apple cider vinegar and water to a simmer over medium heat. In a small prep bowl, combine all remaining seasonings.
  • Slice onions thinly. Once the apple cider-water mixture begins to simmer, add in seasonings and stir to combine. Add the onions and bring them to a simmer, stirring occasionally, for 5-10 minutes just until the onions soften.
  • Remove from heat and allow onions to cool to room temperature before storing in a glass jar.
  • Store pickled red onions in the fridge for up to one month—though they honestly won’t last that long. They’re so good.
