Red onion for the winter in vinegar marinade
1 serving
30 minutes
This can of preserves is a battlefield between two strong tastes of onion and honey. Although the distance between them is not that huge: in red onion (not even in tender Yalta, but in regular hot) per 100 grams of live weight there are about 5 grams of pure sugars (that is, about the same as in a can of Coca-Cola). In general, it is spicy, and sweet, and sour from vinegar, and in general everything is very harmonious. Open such a can when you cook a pork chop, fry a steak or bake chicken with potatoes. In general, it will be a brilliant addition to any meat. Well, if there is something left, you can bake a circle of thin crispy dough, first by itself, until a slight crunch, and then with marinated onion rings on top , and the result is a version of the classic pissaladière onion pie, slightly simplified, but still very French. The original amount of ingredients will yield about 500 ml of the preparation.
