These onions are often found in Portuguese households as a condiment, served alongside hearty dishes like grilled meats, bacalhau (salt cod), or other traditional fare. The pickling process enhances their flavor, giving them a sharp yet slightly sweet taste that complements rich, savory dishes. They are usually enjoyed after being marinated for at least a few days, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.
This recipe makes 5 to 6 (1 litre mason jars) of pickled onions
Ingredients per each 1 liter jar:
- 1 garlic clove
- 1 chili pepper
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 3 parts vinegar
- 1 part cold water
- 2 to 3 tablespoons of red wine
