The hardest part is finding the small onions and peeling them. As a rule, they are terribly difficult to clean, and you need to have a lot of patience.

Cut off the stems of the onions, peel the skins and rinse the onions in cool water.

Place the onions in a jar. Large onions can be cut crosswise from the tail side.

Boil brine in a saucepan.

  • 1 liter of water;
  • 2 tbsp. l. salt;
  • 1 tbsp. l sugar;
  • Peppercorns, bay leaf - optional.

Dissolve salt, sugar, add spices and leave the brine to infuse and cool.

Pour lukewarm brine over the onions so that the onions float in the brine. Cover the jar with a plastic lid and leave in a warm place for 3-4 days.

Then, you can close the jar of pickled onions with a tighter lid and put it in a cooler place. In another 10 days, the pickled onions will be ready.

Pickled onions do not bake your tongue, but they retain all the benefits of fresh onions. It can be served on kebabs, added to salads, or eaten simply with boiled potatoes.
