How to Make Mexican Style Pickled Onions! || Black Gumbo

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

It's time for another garden to table episode. We have a harvest of purple onions, let's pickle them. I will show you a simple recipe for making this Mexican classic. It is a wonderful garnish or relish for any dish, but especially for tacos. depending on the spices that you choose to use, it makes a great barbecue relish as well. This recipe is a vinegar based refrigerator pickle, meaning anyone can do it.

    I’ve found using Mexican oregano really adds to my homemade Mexican food game! It’s different from regular Italian oregano. I watch Views on the road, and she only uses Mexican oregano. Love having pickled onions on any and all food!!!

    Loved the recipe, will try it next time. My pickled onions tend to have a Caribbean twist as I use Thyme and scotch bonnet peppers or habanero's. I love it on Fried Fish Caribbean style . sort of an easy pickle . I have onions growing , and some should be red , along with Jalapenos as well as my Scotch Bonnet . Plus being from the islands I love having lots of thyme. . Ninette Bird- The Caribbean Wife- Central Tx.

I also made some pickled peppers the same way, only I heated the brine to a boil and simmered it for 10 minutes before pouring into the jar of peppers. Your Mexican version of onions looks so good. Will try it your way next time. Thanks for the video. Looking forward to your next video.

    Hey Scott Enjoyed your video. I'm originally from Houston but live in Montana now and love using pickled onions with all kinds of meals. They're good with anything. Just wanted to suggest that you try adding one more ingredient to your recipe that REALLY makes them awesome. Try adding a little liquid smoke (I prefer hickory) to your recipe. I think you'll like it. It makes them truly unique and so much better. If you get a chance, try it and let me know what you think. Take care, from Steve here in Bozeman Montana.
