Method

1. Fill and boil the kettle. Peel and slice the onions as thinly as possible. Pop them into a bowl.
2. Pour over enough boiling water from the kettle to cover the onions and leave for 2 mins to soften.
3. In a jug, mix together the salt, sugar and vinegar.
4. Drain the onions and shake off any remaining water. Transfer them to a large jar.
5. Drop in the bay leaf into the jar with the onions then pour over the vinegar mixture. Pop the lid on tightly and shake the jar gently. Pop in fridge for at least 20 min till bright pink.
6. Add the pickled pink onions to any dish that needs a touch of tang or a bit of bite.
7. TICKLED PINK · Top ramen, Buddha bowls, dals and curries · Add tang to tacos, burrito bowls and chilli · Fill your favourite burger · Toss into a wok of stir-frying veg · Fold into potato salad · Toss through green salads (the pickling liquid is a fab dressing) · Add to a cheese platter or, of course, a cheese sandwich · Stir through yogurt and serve with a curry · Chop and stir through softened butter to top lamb or beef steaks
8. Store in the fridge, making sure the onions are covered by the liquid, for up to 2 weeks. Drizzle over a little of the pickling liquid when serving, for extra flavour
