  • About

This pickled red onion dish has been with me for years. You can vary the flavour by using malt vinegar. Make a bigger batch and keep it in the fridge.

Ingredients

  • 400 ml (14 fl oz) sushi vinegar
  • 50 g (1¾

Method

Warm the sushi vinegar, brown sugar, green chilli and star anise in a saucepan over a medium heat to infuse and dissolve the sugar.

Add the sliced red onion to the hot vinegar. Allow to cool and store in a jar until needed.

These onions will keep for two weeks in the fridge.
