Cebollas Encurtidas - Pickled Onions image

I grew up with these, and they are typical of many Latin American cuisines. Time doesn't include marinating time of 3 hours or overnight.

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 small red onions
3 - limes - juice only
1 tablespoon(s) olive oil
2 tablespoon(s) salt, divided use

Steps:

  • Using a mandoline, slice the onions very thinly. Place in a bowl and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon salt and a squeeze of lime juice. Let rest for 10 minutes.
  • Cover the onions with lukewarm water and let rest for another 10 minutes. Then rinse and drain the onions.
  • Add the lime juice, salt and the oil, and mix well. Cover the onions and refrigerate. The onions will start to turn pink after about 3 hours, and will turn very pink if left overnight. Taste again before serving and add salt if necessary.
