Pickled Onions

Pickled onions are small whole onions preserved in vinegar or a sweet and sour brine. Thanks to heat processing, they are soft, juicy, and ready to eat straight from the jar. They have a mildly tart flavour with a hint of sweetness, losing some of the sharpness of fresh onion while retaining a pleasant aroma. In the kitchen, they are used as an accompaniment to cured meats, cheeses, cold cuts, and open sandwiches. They make a great addition to party platters and savoury snacks. They also work well in tartar sauces, salads, or dishes inspired by British and French cuisines, where they are a traditional part of charcuterie boards.
