Preparation Steps
1
Peel the red onions and slice them thinly.
2
Finely chop the fresh chili. Peel and halve the garlic clove.
3
In a small saucepan, combine the white wine vinegar, water, honey, and salt. Heat over medium heat until the honey and salt are completely dissolved.
4
Lightly crush the whole black peppercorns with the flat side of a knife to release their flavor.
5
In a clean, sealable jar, layer the red onion slices. Add the garlic, crushed peppercorns, chopped chili, and chili flakes.
6
Pour the hot pickling liquid over the onions, pressing down gently with a spoon to ensure they are fully submerged.
7
Let the jar cool to room temperature for about 30 minutes, then seal and refrigerate for at least 24 hours to allow the flavors to meld.
8
Use the spicy pickled red onions as a condiment for burgers, tacos, salads, or alongside grilled meats. They will keep in the refrigerator for 2-3 weeks.
