Easy Fermented Red Onions

 2 Large red onions, very thinly sliced
 240 ml Apple cider vinegar (preferably with the mother)
 240 ml Filtered water
 1 tsp Sea salt (adjust to taste)
 1 tbsp Honey or maple syrup (optional)
 A few black peppercorns, cloves of garlic, 1 bay leaf, mustard seeds, or chilli flakes
1

Thinly slice the onions and tightly pack them into two clean jars. ( I am using here 2 x 300 ml jars)

2

In a small saucepan, heat the vinegar, water, salt, and maple syrup (if using) just until dissolved—don’t boil.

3

Add any optional spices (peppercorns, bay leaf, etc.) to the jars.

4

Pour the warm mixture over the onions, ensuring they’re completely submerged. Press down with a spoon if needed.

5

Allow to cool for 20–30 minutes, then seal and refrigerate.

6

They’re ready to enjoy within a few hours and keep well in the fridge for up to 3 weeks.

7

Fermented onions are a gentle, easy way to bring more fibre and probiotics into your day. And once you’ve made them once—you won’t stop.
