Notes
- Use thicker onions. You do not need to use a mandoline if you prefer thicker slices of onion. They will need to pickle for a longer time, at least twice the amount.
- Make it spicy. Feel free to add a habanero or a jalapeno in the brine, or even a pinch of red pepper flakes works.
- Make it Mexican. In the Yucatan peninsula, it’s traditional to pickle the onions using Seville oranges insead of vinegar.
