Ingredients

• 500 g Silver skin onions
• 300 ml White vinegar
• 200 ml Water
• 100 g Caster sugar
• 15 g Salt
• 1 tsp Mustard seeds
• 1 tsp Black peppercorns
• 2 pieces Bay leaves
• 0.5 tsp Chili flakes (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Begin by peeling the silver skin onions. To make peeling easier, submerge the onions in boiling water for 30 seconds, then transfer them to a bowl of ice water. The skins should slip off easily. Trim the root ends if necessary, but keep the onions whole.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the white vinegar, water, caster sugar, and salt. Stir the mixture over medium heat until the sugar and salt dissolve, then bring it to a gentle simmer.

Step 3

Add the mustard seeds, black peppercorns, bay leaves, and chili flakes (if using) to the vinegar mixture. Simmer for about 2 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.

Step 4

Place the peeled silver skin onions into clean, sterilized jars. Pack them in tightly but avoid squishing or damaging their shape.

Step 5

Carefully pour the hot pickling liquid over the onions, making sure they are fully submerged. Distribute the spices evenly among the jars.

Step 6

Seal the jars with sterilized lids, ensuring they are airtight. Allow the jars to cool to room temperature before refrigerating.

Step 7

Let the pickled onions sit in the refrigerator for at least 48 hours to develop their flavor. For best results, wait 1 week before consuming.

Step 8

Store the pickled onions in the refrigerator and consume within 3 months for optimal freshness and flavor.
