First up: Pickled Onions!
I know this sounds odd and how in the world could I be inspired to make this?! WELL. The Moroccan style truck specialized in freakin' Moroccan inspired TACOS! These deliciously different tacos were topped with none other than pickled onions. The whole taco-thing was great, but it was compiled of many different crafted components and I figured this one was easiest enough to try on my own.
Let me preface this with I'VE NEVER PICKLED ANYTHING IN MY LIFE.
Ok? Right, let's begin!
Ingredients:
- 1/2 tsp. Salt
- 1/2 tsp. pepper Pepper
- 1/4 tsp Oregano
- 1 Tbs. Minced Garlic (about 3 minced cloves)
-Distilled white vinegar
- Medium sized Red Onion
-Bowl and mason jar
1. Slice the onion VERY thin. If you have a cutting mandolin use it!
2. Combine all ingredients except vinegar. Make sure onions are covered well with spices. *NOTE: all spice amounts are approximate, I kind of just throw it in there!*
3. Stuff the onions in your mason jar and slowly cover with vinegar until all of the onions are submerged.
4. Let sit in the back of your fridge for a week! Boom: pickled onions! Easy right?!
Now, this recipe is a combination of a few different pickled onion recipes I research. I took my favorite components to come up with it so if you decide to change something, go for it: that's what cooking is all about! Some recipes called for whole spices so they wouldn't come out with the onions after pickling, but I actually like the spice bits floating around. That, and the spices mostly (but not all) settle to the bottom after a week anyway.
Please leave any comments or questions below, I'd love to hear them!
Happy Pickling!
Oh and stay tuned to see what we put them on!
