Sweet, tart and spiced – these are perfect with any rich meat, from a French pate to a carnitas taco.

Ingredients #

  • 1 large red onion, sliced very thinly
  • ½ cup sugar
  • ½ cup white wine vinegar
  • 1 ½ tsp. salt
  • ½ tsp. whole black peppercorns
  • 1 allspice berry
  • ½ cinnamon stick

Instructions #

Place the onion slices in a glass bowl or jar.

Combine the remaining ingredients in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Pour the hot mixture over the onions. Cover and cool to room temperature. Refrigerate overnight. This benefits from being made at least 1 day ahead, and can be kept for up to 3 weeks.
