Pickled Red Onions

Tangy red onions are the perfect pairing for any barbecue with Southwest, Mediterranean, and Middle Eastern flavors—each culinary region has its own version of pickled or marinated red onions. Make a batch of these to add a touch of sweet heat from the habanero, which is just spicy enough to give you a little kick. The pickling process mellows out the heat, leaving them with the perfect spicy zing to top your meats.
