Fermented Onions
Lacto-fermented onions taste better and have more health benefits than pickled onions. Enjoy with a charcuterie and cheese board or in a savoury cocktail.
Servings: 1 jar
Calories: 138kcal
Ingredients
- 3 cups Pearl and Cipollini onions peeled
- 4 cups water
- 2 tbsp salt
Instructions
- Once your onions are peeled add them to a mason jar so they are 1 inch from the top.
- Prepare a salt brine by dissolving salt in water.
- Pour brine into the mason jar until the onions are covered.
- Optional: add any additional flavourings such as pickling spices or fresh oregano or basil.
- Put the lid on the jar and store at room temperature in a dark place like your closet or cupboard.
- Open the jar once a day to release carbon dioxide. Fermentation fans call this "burping."
- Continue this process for 3-4 weeks until fermentation bubbles no longer form.
- Move the fermented onions to your fridge once fermentation has completed and enjoy for the next 3-6 months.
