ohhh.. thank u Ethan for this recipe.. i love pickled onions .. there is a BBQ place that makes it but slightly sweet and been wanting to make it.. ohhh I must try ..yes!! yum!
As much as I'd like to do this, the current salmonella outbreaks means that it'll be a while before I'm gonna buy any onions other than the ones I already have.
Dude, just made these for the first time - literally the best taste to cost ratio of anything I've ever made. I'm gonna have these in my fridge for the rest of my life!
Been doing this for years. Got it from South America. I add a bit of sugar to the concoction and I don’t even heat the mixture so they stay crunchy longer. I also do this with cabbage.
Hey Ethan, you must try this. My favorite way to make these is with the cilantro stems added. Take them and tie them together and place in inside the jar. Once pickled, just remove them. The flavour they will add is unreal and it will go with everything.
Hey! I’m from Kashmir and I grew up eating this. I’m so glad that you made this video because pickled onions are absolutely delicious. In south Asian cuisine, pickle is eaten with rice and curries. The ingredients in my home are: vinegar, onions, coriander, red chilli powder, saffron for colour and some green chillies... also salt to taste. Honestly you can add anything to the pickle: it’s not set in stone and varies in almost every household. It’s called Gaand Chettin (onion chutney) in kashmiri. Cheers and your videos are cool af!
as a Russian i approve of this, the pickle about anything in our classic pickling spices, each family usually has their own but we also pickel in oil to make salads and they are killer over rice
Well, Ethan, my gf and I moved in together last week. I'm a pickled onions guy, she loves peanut butter, and well, I had to know. Thanks for opening up my mind to this eldritch horror, I love it now.
I came across a few comments of people who made it but none saying if it was good or not, thank you, courage bolstered, list made mouth prepped for a pickled onion and peanut butter sandwhich
I can see the advertisement now. Man:"Hey lady! You got your god damn pickled onions in my peanut butter sammich!!!" Lady: "Bullshit... I must insist It was you sir, who stumbled in your drunken state, and offended my pickled onions with your 'peanut butter sammich' as you call it..." Both simultaneously: "OH MY GOD THIS TASTE LIKE SHIT!!! Lets never tell anyone we were stupid enough to try it..." "REESE'S PEANUT BUTTER AND PICKLED ONION CUPS"
Alright so tons of cooking videos have the “I eat this everyday”, etc. titles so I didn’t take this one seriously. But I’ve seen you use pickled onions in a lot of your videos now and I decided to give it a try. They’re extremely tasty and add so, so much to everything I’ve put them on! You’re incredible, Ethan, thanks for everything you do.
I feel like the actual purpose of this video is this guy is just trying to see how many people he can get to eat pickled onions on a peanut butter sandwich as some kind of weird sadistic joke.
He pours the brine over the onions while it is still piping hot. This results in very limp onions. If you let the brine cool down first, the onions retain a lot of their crunch. You can experiment with the right amount of crispness for you by varying the temperature. The thickness of your onion slices affect the crunchiness, too.
@@hazmoses1324 I don't know about actual canning needs. I've never done that. The vinegar alone is sufficient to prevent bacterial growth for several days, assuming everything is refrigerated. Mine are eaten too fast to worry about spoilage.
I just put sliced onions in lemon juice with some sugar if u want tht i don't do sugar ..& it's good..there is no need to boil the solution in the first place just give it 1 full day to pickle
@@sir_abhishek I only heat it enough to dissolve the sugar and incorporate the mix of herbs I use in mine. I'm not trying to sterilize anything, but I like a crisp onion so I let it cool before adding the slices.
@@chimpwitdaglock Noooooo...... look it up and you'll see that one of the main ingredients for pickle onions is salt and pepper with lime and depending of region the you're from they add different things. Are you Mexican and do you live in México?
Bueno pues yo soy de Mexicali, B.C. México y aquí a las cebollas curtidas le echamos limon, sal y pimienta y como te vuelvo a repetir cada región de México es diferente y punto ok.
I finally did this. Having Crohn's disease I found fermented foods to be a new adventure. These pickled onions rocked my world. Tossed in some garlic cloves and got an extra tint of spice. Perfect. Thank you Ethan. Gonna try a little ginger as well next.
You should try the Peruvian method! Your thinly sliced onion, 2 TBSP white vinegar, salt, pepper, a finely diced Jalapeño, and the juice of 2 limes- the salt draws the moisture out of the onions and there is no need for boiling anything. Comes out delicious and just as good!
Easily becoming one of my favorite cooking channels. The diversity of dishes and their usefulness is mind boggling. Def wanna try these with pad krapow today
Pickling the onions right now. Will report on a peanut butter sandwich in a day. Try that shit, it's delicious. Don't know what I was expecting, but the onions go incredibly well with the salty taste of PB. When it adds that sourish flavor with a hint of sweetness at the end and to be completely frank taste wasn't the most important thing. It was how good pickled onion went with this "rusty" texture of peanut butter on the sandwich, it really works well together. I used crunchy PB
Been pickling onions since my food truck days. They've been a staple in my fridge ever since. You forgot to mention they're great on Avocado Toast too - Gotta get those brunch crowd clicks!
I made your pickled onions and I’m putting them on everything, but i was surprised when i tried it with the peanut butter sandwich, it was unexpectedly yummy. Thank you for that
After watching your channel for a few months, I finally decided to make the pickled onions today, and of course try the sandwich. Just finished the sandwich and now I'm hooked on both. Pickled onions will be in my refrigerator for the rest of my life
I just made some the other day! Put them in breakfast and dinner. Scrambled eggs for breakfast and bbq chicken in the crock pot. I added black peppercorns, garlic, and homegrown red jalapenos to the onion and it adds so much flavor!
Word of caution: he uses a vinegar that's 5% acidity so don't make the mistake I did doing the same steps with 15% strength vinegar, it turned out unbearably acidic, like burning down my throat. I could subsequently work out the adjustments and it turned out great. Mind adding that little detail with the percentages? Thanks and keep up the good work 🙏
I'm glad this got recommended to me! Thanks for the recipe. Although, I was surprised, that your water to vinegar ratio was 1:1. American white vinegar is more diluted, I guess? Because where I am from, regular store-bought vinegar is 9% diluted acetic acid, and 1:1 ratio would melt your eyes off (not really, but it'd be still be unpleasant, imo). My water to vinegar ratio was 3:1, I also added salt, sugar and dried dill to taste, it was great.
Hey, i thought the same thing! I noticed he used Heinz vinegar, so i Googled picture of that bottle and it's indeed 5% compared to our 9% vinegar, so he dilutes 5% vinegar 1:1 with water and gets 2.5% acidity, your method of 1:3 gives almost the same result of 2.25% acidity, it's even lower than what he does in the video, so you could dilute it a little bit less, perfectly 1:2.6 (for example, 100 grams of vinegar and 260 grams of water)
Was thinking that myself. Here in Sweden, white vinegar comes in 12% or 24%. 1:1 would not be tasty. I always use the standard Swedish pickling 1-2-3 recipe. 1 part white vinegar, 2 parts sugar and 3 parts water. But I replace half of sugar with salt because it tastes better.
Even I use Heinz white vinegar the one he used and my method for anything is 1 cup white vinegar, 1 cup water, 1/4 cup sugar and a big tablespoon of salt
Bru... I made this thing for the first time ever, I made mine with 3 Onions, 1 cup of ACV, 1 Cup of Freshly squeezed Orange Juice, 1 TBSP Sugar, 1 TSP Salt I left it to chill in the fridge for 24 hours... let me tell you, I didn’t know what to expect but the taste blew me TF away and I loved it instantly. I reluctantly tried on bread with your peanut butter and peach jam, bru my tastebuds have never danced like that ever before for Onions. THANK YOU VERY MUCH for introducing me to this awesome thing, I made just 1L which is gonna be finished by tomorrow(if not this evening) and I have a 2L jar and gonna make more of it coz everybody loved it.😉✌🏿
I wanna try making these for the first time ever,I grow my onions,garlic,rosemary and ginger. If you don’t mind sharing please,how much of Garlic and Rosemary do you use? Your response will be greatly appreciated. Thank You 🙏🏿 😉🇿🇦✌🏿
I'm used to the sugary kind, honestly I haven't tried making the salty pickle myself. In Sweden it used to be pretty common for people to create a "1-2-3 pickle": 1 part vinegar (12%, strong kind) 2 parts sugar 3 parts water It's super easy to slice up either red onions, cucumber, or even thinner carrot sticks (think banh mi) for a healthy vinegary, but also moreishly sweet, addition to anything. Pretty nice way to enjoy some sugar without going for candy :) Just wanted to share this because 1) I like the video 2) I never hear about the sweet pickle.
@@alexafinn5970 depends on how clean you keep it - mostly making sure the jar is proper clean first and that no veggies is above the pickle, anything in contact with oxygen is a bit at risk (so preferably not even having floaters, weigh them down). You can eat the pickle within an hour, and then if take care of them it'll last: Bad care: around 3 days. Good care: 2 weeks easy, maybe up to a month. You'll notice it starts getting bad if it's fermenting instead of just pickling.
Thanks, Ethan. I've made it and you're right, it's highly addictive. I eat it on all my sandwiches, wraps or as a side dish with any meat. I served it to guests this past weekend on a savoury platter - it was a hit! Also, enjoying your Paris adventures. Keep the videos coming. Sending love from South Africa 🇿🇦

I always have pickled hot peppers on hand, and I tried the peanut butter sandwich thing. There is no way it should taste as good as it does. The heat, crunch, and tang from the peppers plus the sweetness and creaminess of the peanut butter was such a combo of flavors. I was so surprised!
I was having pozole one time in Zacatecas.. Mexico On the table was a bowl of picked onions.. I added a big spoonful without knowing they were pickled with habanero.. My mistake was quickly regretted...😂😂
Chance the dog Sounds good actually, in the right proportions anyway. I knowingly stuck a whole raw habanero in my mouth, chewed it up and ate it. Now that was a mistake.
I make a cold-pack Korean style pickled onion...thin-sliced red onion, lemon juice and a mixture of 1 part soy sauce to 3 parts white vinegar. Keep it in the fridge, will last for a 10 days or so. You can add some sliced hot pepper if you like, and I do. Since you don't need to boil the soy/vinegar mix the process goes pretty fast. Use the juice of one lemon per quart/liter jar of onions.
@@r.awilliams9815 No problem. Just I wanted to follow what you said, and I didn't want to make mistakes. Maybe, edit your post, then others can use your recipe. Thanks for sharing. You gave me an awesome idea. Love it when all of us can work together and create wonderful cooking ideas ...
Thank you RUclips for suggesting this channel. It’s making me a better chef and giving me so much inspiration! And all the traditional Indian/Pakistani dishes have me so excited to get out of my comfort zone and try something different. I learned how to make chicken biryani years ago and it’s now my husbands favorite dish. Can’t wait to try some new recipes! Thank you Ethan 😊
Please make a youtube channel or even a tiktok video if you have time I would love to see how you learned to make your husbands meals!! And if you add anything different to the South Asian dishes coming from your own culture!!
I friggin love pickled red onions. I used to gag whenever I tasted onions in anything growing up and now look at me. I could probably eat an onion like an apple. Starting to cook for myself made me realize how useful onions are since you pretty much need them for everything and using Hello Fresh turned me on to pickling onions... I'm also addicted to pickled jalapeno's and will put them on everything.
Totally love them. I have never made them that way, but I'll have to try it. I always just use the leftover liquid from pickles preferably Claussen brand and stuff it with onion slices and/or peppers or boiled eggs(bc pickled eggs are great too lol) and stick it back in the fridge. It takes a little longer to pickle them that way, but just as good imo. I highly recommend trying it if you are short on time...or long on pickle juice.
I do that with pickled beets - which can be difficult to get right: so many companies make them too sweet to bear. But, if you get a decent one, maybe Crosse & Blackwell?, and add an equal amount of plain, cooked beets, plus a bit of water (if needed), you have plenty of room for hard boiled eggs too - which turn a lovely shade of purple! Everyone loves them!!!
I usually make mine with fresh rosemary, coriander seeds and whole cardamom. It adds a sweetness and lovely fragrance to the onions. With hard spices it's worth getting reusable (muslin/cotton) tea bags and putting your herbs in there so they still infuse, but don't get in the way. Tip: Sterilise your jar before making to ensure maximum longevity. I had some go off after 2-4 weeks in a washed only jar. Frustrating. 160c oven, clean glass jar in for at least 10 mins and it's ready for food. Fill while still warm/hot for best results. They should easily last 3+months if everything's sterile and you only use clean utensils to get the onions out.
Thank you for introducing me to this simple way of starting with pickled onions, I made them a while back and they were great... now I am on to adding additional things to elevate the taste...
I made these last week and they were fantastic! Soooo easy and I'm only sorry I didn't try this sooner. I've been adding them daily to my salads. I poured liquid over onions at about 188F and they are still crispy and full of flavor. Thanks so much for the quick, easy recipe and well done vid.
Came back to this video to say thank you! I pickled onions using your recipe, it was easy and delicious. Put them on over easy eggs this morning, it’s a whole different ball game!!
Tip add caramel to the boiling water and wa wa voom takes the vinegared onions to another level. We in India add green chillies, chopped garlic and chopped ginger too.
PB, mayo, and onion is a childhood favorite of mine. I upgraded it by putting in fried liverwurst and then grilling the whole sandwich and have never really looked back. It's possibly too rich and is guaranteed to give you the itis, but I'd highly recommend it. Also, do this exact method with garlic cloves. They'll turn blue but pickled garlic makes pretty much everything better.
I thought that peanut butter sandwhich was crazy, then i realized it's literally the exact same thing as the peanut butter and pickle sandwich that I eat
@@Hyparchos I used to eat pb&pickle sandwiches back in school, every day for lunch. That or pb&honey. Can confirm, very tasty. Haters gonna hate, potatoes gonna potate.
My grandma always made picked onion and cheese sandwiches with creamy salad dressing (English version of miracle whip salad dressing) as a roadside staple while walking trails in the UK. Loved them!
I haven't watched this video yet, but I just wanted to say that I've been making these pickles since your Chicken Sandwich video (I actually just made another batch today) and they are Perfect on pretty much anything, but especially something fatty that needs some acidity to cut through it! I just threw them in some Mac and cheese today and it was amazing! Congrats on the success, it's well deserved.
When I finish all the pickles, I never throw out the juice. I’ll slice up some red onions and let it marinate in the left over pickle juice. Keep it chilled in the fridge...so good on sandwiches and salads 😋
GREAT. I made these last week and I've now had them on peanut butter, tuna and egg salad sandwiches. Even on a burger. It's delicious and exactly what's been missing from my life.
They all sound so good, I can't wait to try!! Can I ask, do you know how long they would last in the fridge (I'm imaging not too long as they sound delicious 🤣) but how long should they keep for I mean? Thankyou! 🙂
@@littlerose6 you know, from what I can tell after a couple weeks they loose their crunch. We knocked out the first batch I made in about a week. The second batch floated around the fridge for a while until that dire day the onions lost that beautiful crunch. I made more with sliced radishes and cucumbers as well, delicious.
@@fireofhislove3395 in Australia peanut butter and jelly (or jam as we call it) sandwiches aren’t very common at all. We generally prefer plain peanut butter over here
@@enigmah625 I don't really measure it's all by taste. Though about 6-7 limes per onion is about right. Salt to taste doing three finger pinches one at a time and mixing until it tastes right. Costco has 5 pound sacks of limes so if you get one or two depending how much you're making you should have plenty.
Finally got around to do this. Oh my god, so good. I keep going back for more, and it seems like I just want to add a little bit of onion on everything. I used almost a full net of red onions to fill a jar a bit bigger than yours, but it's amazing how fast they are disappearing. So the next day, I tried doing the same with spring onions and peppers. The spring onions didn't have the "pow" that I had hoped for, but let's see how it is tonight. But the peppers, pickled with a sliced up chili and a clove of garlic, is so amazing.
In my country for winter we pickle almost all vegetables : onion, carrots, garlic, cucumbers, unriped tomato or slightly riped, couliflower, peppers, hot peppers, cabbage, you name it. All are from stand alone or in different combination of pickle.
If you are pickling cabbage and unripe tomato then you really need to check out making this Chow Chow. We normally mix it with beans when eating. 8 cups chopped Cabbage (1 small head) 6 cups chopped Green Tomatoes ( about 4 medium) 4 cups chopped Onions (about 2 medium) 2 cups chopped Sweet Green Peppers (about 4 small) 1 cup chopped Sweet Red Peppers (about 2 small) 2 small Cayenne Peppers, chopped ¼ cup Salt ( canning and pickling salt) 3 cups Granulated Sugar 4 teaspoons Celery Seed 4 teaspoons Dry Mustard 2 teaspoon Mustard Seed 2 teaspoon Turmeric 1 teaspoon Ginger 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon 1 teaspoon Ground Cloves 1 teaspoon Crushed Pepper Flakes 5 cups White Vinegar Instructions Chop and dice all vegetables. Place in non-reactive container (glass, stainless, ceramic) Sprinkle with salt. Gently mix well. Let stand 4 to 6 hours, or overnight if possible. Drain well. Rinse and drain again. Combine Sugar, Spices and Vinegar in a large saucepot. Simmer 10 minutes. Add vegetables, simmer 10 minutes. Bring to a boil, cook until veggies are tender. Pack hot relish into hot jars, leaving 1/4inch headspace. Remove air bubbles. Wipe jar rims. Adjust two piece caps. Process 10 minutes in a boiling water canner.
@@ogr8bearded175 Thank you for the recipe! I will definitely try this next year, seems taste. Here in my country is almost winter, so the canning season is over, but definitely next autumn i will try it.
@@MadalinaPVilcu you're welcome. It is a staple here in the southern part of US. I think someone long ago came up with it to use up the last of the seasons unripe tomatoes because there is only so many fried green tomatoes a person can eat. lol
Awesome video! You are so right about pickled red onions! It's always great to have it in the fridge, and it's easy to make. Plus, it's immensely delicious! It's so versatile that you can toss it in any kind of (savoury) nosh. It adds a colourful pink kick in whatever dish you're making. Anything from Bibimbap and Sushi to Taco, Azu, Kebab or Hamburger... I find my pickled red onions best when they're pickled in a brine made by red wine vinegar, water, sugar, salt, and some peppercorns (both black and white). The peppercorns add a lovely little kick in the taste buds. You should try it!
If some of you want more precision in the brine liquid, I have found 3 cups of total liquid are enough to fill a 1-quart jar, with a little bit leftover (assuming you packed the jar).
Hey Ethan, would you mind giving us a crash course on how you use your cast iron griddle pan? How often do you clean yours? How often do you use it? What do you do to maintain it?
@@TheGodYouWishYouKnew I am specifically in search of a scientific analysis of this topic, much like Ethan does for food, but in this case, for his cast iron :)
I finally made some and I can't get enough! They truly are AMAZING! I just came to double check the "recipe." Tonight I'm going to try pickling red, yellow, and orange bell peppers. I'll let you know how it goes. (color contrast! YAY!) I make my onions with four mixed whole pepper corns, whole corriander, and bay leaves.
Pickled onions are very common in the UK, only not like the way you make pickled onions. We usually use whole small onions/shallots instead of using red onions and cutting them up :)
In Sweden they are commonly made with what is called a 1-2-3 pickling brine. one part 12% white vinegar, two parts sugar, and three parts water. With standard American 5% white vinegar, that would translate to a 3-2-2 solution. Three parts vinegar, two parts sugar, and two parts water.
I've been pickling my onions with a mix of grapefruit and orange juice, with bayleef. It's turned out surprisingly nice every time, so might be something worth looking into for others.
Thanks for making me feel okay with not adding sugar in my first pickling attempt, every other pickling video seems to use sugar for some reason but I try to minimize my sugar intake and these came out completely perfect without the added sugar.
I want to see someone taste and review the pickled onion and peanut butter sandwich, it's dope. RECIPE: www.ethanchlebowski.com/cooking-techniques-recipes/pickled-onions-forever
BTW I've kept these for up to 5-6 weeks in the fridge, but IMO they are definitely best in terms of flavor and texture in the first week.

Red pickled onion on top pf avocado toast with black sesame seeds. Delicious 🤤
Throw some feta cheese on there, it’s nuts!
Mellennial alert! ( sounds really good though, gotta say!)
Oh yeah i will try them with avocados. Thx for the idea
😱
Add mustard and mmmmmmm
I finally did this. Having Crohn's disease I found fermented foods to be a new adventure. These pickled onions rocked my world. Tossed in some garlic cloves and got an extra tint of spice. Perfect.
Thank you Ethan. Gonna try a little ginger as well next.
The ginger addition rocks
If you are getting into fermented foods, try Sauerkraut! It`s really good :)
You should try the Peruvian method! Your thinly sliced onion, 2 TBSP white vinegar, salt, pepper, a finely diced Jalapeño, and the juice of 2 limes- the salt draws the moisture out of the onions and there is no need for boiling anything. Comes out delicious and just as good!
As a Mexican I can say that we put them on every taco, torta, gorditas, enchiladas.....
Great tip to chop them root to stem 👍

Pickling the onions right now. Will report on a peanut butter sandwich in a day.
Try that shit, it's delicious. Don't know what I was expecting, but the onions go incredibly well with the salty taste of PB. When it adds that sourish flavor with a hint of sweetness at the end and to be completely frank taste wasn't the most important thing. It was how good pickled onion went with this "rusty" texture of peanut butter on the sandwich, it really works well together. I used crunchy PB
Comment here
I'm curious
Me to
good luck
How did it go?
Been pickling onions since my food truck days. They've been a staple in my fridge ever since. You forgot to mention they're great on Avocado Toast too - Gotta get those brunch crowd clicks!
I made your pickled onions and I’m putting them on everything, but i was surprised when i tried it with the peanut butter sandwich, it was unexpectedly yummy.
Thank you for that
yeah I had to try these on PB and I will admit, yeah they were pretty good! ;-)
I mean... my fridge is kinda empty...
You also hate pink, so this recipe is kinda out of the question from the jump.
hey looks its a romanian
You are not alone. Wish I could make you a sandwich.
You have a fridge?
Onion is like 60 cents
Vinegar is about 2 dollars
Mason jar maybe 1 dollar from a dollar store or 3 from a target or walmart

What about shrek
@@kalohagee3052 you beat me to it

After watching your channel for a few months, I finally decided to make the pickled onions today, and of course try the sandwich. Just finished the sandwich and now I'm hooked on both. Pickled onions will be in my refrigerator for the rest of my life
I just made some the other day! Put them in breakfast and dinner. Scrambled eggs for breakfast and bbq chicken in the crock pot.
I added black peppercorns, garlic, and homegrown red jalapenos to the onion and it adds so much flavor!
May I get the recipe 😁😎
@@thelmafreedline5939 You just did.
@@thelmafreedline5939 All I did was boil the brine and pour it into the jars of onions/peppers. All the other ingredients were in the brine. Enjoy!
Word of caution: he uses a vinegar that's 5% acidity so don't make the mistake I did doing the same steps with 15% strength vinegar, it turned out unbearably acidic, like burning down my throat.
I could subsequently work out the adjustments and it turned out great. Mind adding that little detail with the percentages? Thanks and keep up the good work 🙏
took a very long time to find this comment...but i'm glad I did.
Same happened to me. Vinegar can be so many things and the exact type is not mentioned anywhere.
he used 5% vinegar and dialuted it with the same amount of water so 2,5% acid is a good starting point i think
amateur I did with 20%... Life changing indeed.
Also made it for family with 9% russian vinegar
Result wasn't family friendly
I'm glad this got recommended to me! Thanks for the recipe.
Although, I was surprised, that your water to vinegar ratio was 1:1. American white vinegar is more diluted, I guess? Because where I am from, regular store-bought vinegar is 9% diluted acetic acid, and 1:1 ratio would melt your eyes off (not really, but it'd be still be unpleasant, imo). My water to vinegar ratio was 3:1, I also added salt, sugar and dried dill to taste, it was great.
Hey, i thought the same thing! I noticed he used Heinz vinegar, so i Googled picture of that bottle and it's indeed 5% compared to our 9% vinegar, so he dilutes 5% vinegar 1:1 with water and gets 2.5% acidity, your method of 1:3 gives almost the same result of 2.25% acidity, it's even lower than what he does in the video, so you could dilute it a little bit less, perfectly 1:2.6 (for example, 100 grams of vinegar and 260 grams of water)
Was thinking that myself. Here in Sweden, white vinegar comes in 12% or 24%. 1:1 would not be tasty. I always use the standard Swedish pickling 1-2-3 recipe. 1 part white vinegar, 2 parts sugar and 3 parts water. But I replace half of sugar with salt because it tastes better.
Even I use Heinz white vinegar the one he used and my method for anything is 1 cup white vinegar, 1 cup water, 1/4 cup sugar and a big tablespoon of salt
@@thehorriblebright you mean (for example): 100 g white vinegar, 200 g sugar and 300 g water?
@@andreicrivatro Exactly. But I substitute 1/4 of the sugar for salt.

Your response will be greatly appreciated.
Thank You 🙏🏿 😉🇿🇦✌🏿
I'm used to the sugary kind, honestly I haven't tried making the salty pickle myself. In Sweden it used to be pretty common for people to create a "1-2-3 pickle":
1 part vinegar (12%, strong kind)
2 parts sugar
3 parts water
It's super easy to slice up either red onions, cucumber, or even thinner carrot sticks (think banh mi) for a healthy vinegary, but also moreishly sweet, addition to anything.
Pretty nice way to enjoy some sugar without going for candy :) Just wanted to share this because 1) I like the video 2) I never hear about the sweet pickle.
I am Czech, and we also doing sweet&sour pickles. Pickled red radish is good too. Red peppers, actually it can be pickled any kind vegetable......
@Daniel Vipin I was going to ask what "haspasiol" (it's spelled hus-special) haha, I put a lot of chili on all my food even though I'm Swedish
how long can you keep it in the fridge?
@@alexafinn5970 depends on how clean you keep it - mostly making sure the jar is proper clean first and that no veggies is above the pickle, anything in contact with oxygen is a bit at risk (so preferably not even having floaters, weigh them down).
You can eat the pickle within an hour, and then if take care of them it'll last:
Bad care: around 3 days.
Good care: 2 weeks easy, maybe up to a month.
You'll notice it starts getting bad if it's fermenting instead of just pickling.
In the summer I put cukes, onions, baby squash, and bell peppers in a sweet vinegar solution. Delicious with vegetables@
Thanks, Ethan. I've made it and you're right, it's highly addictive. I eat it on all my sandwiches, wraps or as a side dish with any meat. I served it to guests this past weekend on a savoury platter - it was a hit! Also, enjoying your Paris adventures. Keep the videos coming. Sending love from South Africa 🇿🇦
Panera bread has pickled onions made with tears of the overnight bakers.
But man are they good. But hey, making my own so the bakers don't have to cry as much :)
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Those overnight bakers are paid handsomely for their hard work. I should know. I’m the CEO of Panera.
I bet they’re extra tasty 🤷🏻♀️
@@stanknugget For anyone who doesn't want to Google, they get paid $10-$16 per hour, according to Glassdoor, which is about $20k-$45k per year. This means they get paid similar to the median wage of $35,977 and much lower than the mean (average) wage of $56,000, which comes from May 2020 BLS for all occupations.
I always have pickled hot peppers on hand, and I tried the peanut butter sandwich thing. There is no way it should taste as good as it does. The heat, crunch, and tang from the peppers plus the sweetness and creaminess of the peanut butter was such a combo of flavors. I was so surprised!
Ever stuff a Habanero with a mixture of peanut butter and cream cheese? You're welcome!
This is, to date, probably the most life changing YT video I've ever watched. Watched it about a year ago and I have made dozens of batches since.
We use them a lot in latin america. I would recommend putting them on some pupusas!
With some curtido too hmm yum 😋
I was having pozole one time in Zacatecas.. Mexico
On the table was a bowl of picked onions..
I added a big spoonful without knowing they were pickled with habanero..
My mistake was quickly regretted...😂😂
In a burrito!
Chance the dog Sounds good actually, in the right proportions anyway. I knowingly stuck a whole raw habanero in my mouth, chewed it up and ate it. Now that was a mistake.
And pork sandwiches 🥪
I make a cold-pack Korean style pickled onion...thin-sliced red onion, lemon juice and a mixture of 1 part soy sauce to 3 parts white vinegar. Keep it in the fridge, will last for a 10 days or so. You can add some sliced hot pepper if you like, and I do. Since you don't need to boil the soy/vinegar mix the process goes pretty fast. Use the juice of one lemon per quart/liter jar of onions.
How much lemon juice? You don't specify so not easy to reproduce.

Vinegar and cornstarch are on the shopping list today lol , crispy sweet potato fries and pickled onions are in my future
I friggin love pickled red onions. I used to gag whenever I tasted onions in anything growing up and now look at me. I could probably eat an onion like an apple. Starting to cook for myself made me realize how useful onions are since you pretty much need them for everything and using Hello Fresh turned me on to pickling onions...
I'm also addicted to pickled jalapeno's and will put them on everything.
Totally love them. I have never made them that way, but I'll have to try it. I always just use the leftover liquid from pickles preferably Claussen brand and stuff it with onion slices and/or peppers or boiled eggs(bc pickled eggs are great too lol) and stick it back in the fridge. It takes a little longer to pickle them that way, but just as good imo. I highly recommend trying it if you are short on time...or long on pickle juice.
"long on pickle juice", love it! :)
I do that with pickled beets - which can be difficult to get right: so many companies make them too sweet to bear.
But, if you get a decent one, maybe Crosse & Blackwell?, and add an equal amount of plain, cooked beets, plus a bit of water (if needed), you have plenty of room for hard boiled eggs too - which turn a lovely shade of purple! Everyone loves them!!!
I usually make mine with fresh rosemary, coriander seeds and whole cardamom. It adds a sweetness and lovely fragrance to the onions.
With hard spices it's worth getting reusable (muslin/cotton) tea bags and putting your herbs in there so they still infuse, but don't get in the way.
Tip: Sterilise your jar before making to ensure maximum longevity. I had some go off after 2-4 weeks in a washed only jar. Frustrating.
160c oven, clean glass jar in for at least 10 mins and it's ready for food. Fill while still warm/hot for best results.
They should easily last 3+months if everything's sterile and you only use clean utensils to get the onions out.
Thank you for introducing me to this simple way of starting with pickled onions, I made them a while back and they were great... now I am on to adding additional things to elevate the taste...

PB, mayo, and onion is a childhood favorite of mine. I upgraded it by putting in fried liverwurst and then grilling the whole sandwich and have never really looked back. It's possibly too rich and is guaranteed to give you the itis, but I'd highly recommend it.

I do onions, jalepenos or seranos, salt, and lime juice(from a sack of fresh limes). Works AMAZING on tacos or in scrambled eggs.
Sounds good any measurements??
@@enigmah625 I don't really measure it's all by taste. Though about 6-7 limes per onion is about right. Salt to taste doing three finger pinches one at a time and mixing until it tastes right. Costco has 5 pound sacks of limes so if you get one or two depending how much you're making you should have plenty.
1:17 "Try adding them to your peanut butter sandwhich if you don't have" . . . friends.
Finally got around to do this. Oh my god, so good. I keep going back for more, and it seems like I just want to add a little bit of onion on everything. I used almost a full net of red onions to fill a jar a bit bigger than yours, but it's amazing how fast they are disappearing.
So the next day, I tried doing the same with spring onions and peppers. The spring onions didn't have the "pow" that I had hoped for, but let's see how it is tonight. But the peppers, pickled with a sliced up chili and a clove of garlic, is so amazing.
Bruh. Just made these. Absolutely incredible. Took my tacos to the next level. Life changing!
Did you add sugar or just salt?
In my country for winter we pickle almost all vegetables : onion, carrots, garlic, cucumbers, unriped tomato or slightly riped, couliflower, peppers, hot peppers, cabbage, you name it. All are from stand alone or in different combination of pickle.
If you are pickling cabbage and unripe tomato then you really need to check out making this Chow Chow. We normally mix it with beans when eating.
8 cups chopped Cabbage (1 small head)
6 cups chopped Green Tomatoes ( about 4 medium)
4 cups chopped Onions (about 2 medium)
2 cups chopped Sweet Green Peppers (about 4 small)
1 cup chopped Sweet Red Peppers (about 2 small)
2 small Cayenne Peppers, chopped
¼ cup Salt ( canning and pickling salt)
3 cups Granulated Sugar
4 teaspoons Celery Seed
4 teaspoons Dry Mustard
2 teaspoon Mustard Seed
2 teaspoon Turmeric
1 teaspoon Ginger
1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
1 teaspoon Ground Cloves
1 teaspoon Crushed Pepper Flakes
5 cups White Vinegar
Instructions
Chop and dice all vegetables.
Place in non-reactive container (glass, stainless, ceramic)
Sprinkle with salt. Gently mix well.
Let stand 4 to 6 hours, or overnight if possible.
Drain well.
Rinse and drain again.
Combine Sugar, Spices and Vinegar in a large saucepot.
Simmer 10 minutes.
Add vegetables, simmer 10 minutes.
Bring to a boil, cook until veggies are tender.
Pack hot relish into hot jars, leaving 1/4inch headspace.
Remove air bubbles.
Wipe jar rims.
Adjust two piece caps.
Process 10 minutes in a boiling water canner.

Awesome video! You are so right about pickled red onions! It's always great to have it in the fridge, and it's easy to make. Plus, it's immensely delicious! It's so versatile that you can toss it in any kind of (savoury) nosh. It adds a colourful pink kick in whatever dish you're making. Anything from Bibimbap and Sushi to Taco, Azu, Kebab or Hamburger...
I find my pickled red onions best when they're pickled in a brine made by red wine vinegar, water, sugar, salt, and some peppercorns (both black and white). The peppercorns add a lovely little kick in the taste buds. You should try it!
If some of you want more precision in the brine liquid, I have found 3 cups of total liquid are enough to fill a 1-quart jar, with a little bit leftover (assuming you packed the jar).

Pickled onions are very common in the UK, only not like the way you make pickled onions. We usually use whole small onions/shallots instead of using red onions and cutting them up :)
@Jack Durston Can't beat a fish and chips with 2 pickled onions oof. King's feast.
Just sounds less convenient
2 small white pickled onions instead of an olive in a Martini is a nice change.
In Sweden they are commonly made with what is called a 1-2-3 pickling brine. one part 12% white vinegar, two parts sugar, and three parts water. With standard American 5% white vinegar, that would translate to a 3-2-2 solution. Three parts vinegar, two parts sugar, and two parts water.
I’m gonna have to start doing this. Thank you for the info. This is the content I look for on RUclips! New ideas!
Just made a few batches and eyes are watering. Worth it!
I've been pickling my onions with a mix of grapefruit and orange juice, with bayleef. It's turned out surprisingly nice every time, so might be something worth looking into for others.

Might be a silly question, but could you use the same liquid from a set of pickled onions to make the next batch of pickled onions?
In general you could, but make sure to add more vinegar and salt
From the Food Safety Talk podcast, I learned that sufficient salt is important for preservation. As already mentioned, re-up your salt for sure.
Just made these. Looking forward to trying. Love your short and to the point videos.
Old video but came up in recommend but the thing that intrigued me the most was the surname chleb means bread in polish. That all gotta say
Thanks for making me feel okay with not adding sugar in my first pickling attempt, every other pickling video seems to use sugar for some reason but I try to minimize my sugar intake and these came out completely perfect without the added sugar.
I substitute something else for the sugar. Honey is a good choice or molasses too.
You are such a good teacher.
