Optional Lighter Marinade: Instead of oil, you can use boiled water. The ratio is one glass of water to the juice of one lemon. This marinade offers a lighter taste, although I prefer using oil for added richness.
Marinating Process: Mix the marinade with the onions, gently massaging them to release their juices. Then, place the onions in a jar and add a small amount of oil on top for better preservation, if desired.
Refrigeration: Place the jar of onions in the refrigerator for at least one day, preferably two. The longer the marination period, the more flavorful and aromatic the onions will become.
That’s it! These pickled onions will elevate any dish they accompany and make a delightful addition to your table.
Enjoy experimenting with this quick and flavorful pickling method!
