cocktail onions by joanie

These are delicious alone or in a gibson. I modified Thomas Keller's recipe by reducing the sugar, adding salt, using white wine vinegar instead of red to keep the onions white, and nixing the coriander seeds.

Ingredients

  • 8 oz pearl onions
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 cup white wine vinegar
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 tsp mustard seeds
  • 1 tsp black peppercorns
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
about 2 dozen

Directions

Bring a small pot of salt water to a oil.

Meanwhile, trim the root end of the onions and remove the skin. Boil for 8 minutes. Drain, rinse, and drain. Place in a jar.

In a small saucepan, combine the water, vinegar, sugar, mustard seeds, peppercorns, and salt. Bring to a boil and stir until the sugar dissolves.

Pour the liquid over the onions, seal, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

Then enjoy.
