These are served with Thick Potato Soup with Favas and Hominy Soup from Ecuador.

Ingredients

  • 2 medium red onions, thinly sliced
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon

Method

Toss the onions with the salt. Allow to sit until the salt penetrates the onion, about 20 minutes. Rinse to remove the salt.

In a small bowl, combine the onions with the lemon juice and sugar. Let sit until pink. These keep, refrigerated, for 1 month.
