Quick Pickled Red Onions

Ingredients

• 2 medium red onions, sliced paper-thin (200 g)
• 1/2 cup (120 ml) hot water

Method

1. Slice the onions as thin as you can - a thick slice stays harsh in the middle.
2. Dissolve the salt and maple syrup in the hot water, then add the vinegar and peppercorns. Do not boil the vinegar.
3. Pack the onions into a jar and pour the liquid over to cover. Press them under with a spoon.
4. They are pink and ready in 30 minutes, and properly good the next day.
