Pink Pickled Onions

• 3 small red onions, cut into thin slices
• 1 ancho chilli, deseeded and cut into thin slices
• 180 ml (

Place the onions and chilli in a heatproof bowl and set aside.

Heat the vinegar, oil, sugar and salt in a small saucepan over a high heat until boiling. Once it reaches the boil, add the star anise and remove from the heat. Pour the vinegar mixture over the onions and you will quickly see the onions go a psychedelic pink; this colour will improve in the next hours and days.
