Pickled Onions, New Orleans Style

Great when chopped and mixed up with your red beans 'n rice ...

2-3 pounds tiny yellow onions (up to 1 inch diameter)
1 gallon cool water
1/4 cup salt
2 tablespoons crushed red pepper
2 teaspoons sweet basil
6 small bay leaves
1 quart distilled white vinegar
1 cup water
2 tablespoons liquid crab boil
2 drops red food coloring (optional)

Peel the onions and place in a glass or plastic container -- not metal!
Mix the water and salt, pour over the onions and let soak overnight.
The next day, take clean canning jars and sprinkle some of the red
pepper, basil and bayleaf on the bottom. Pack the onions to 1/3 level,
then repeat in layers.
When the jars are packed, mix the vinegar, water, crab boil and food
coloring (if desired) and pour over onions. Cap the jars and
refrigerate for at least one week before using. If you increase the
amount you're making, just maintain a 3:1 ratio of vinegar to water.

depending on size, then put in ice water to cool. Drain well. Put
into a large glass jar or crock with the remaining ingredients. Add
enough cider vinegar to cover and stir. The onions will be ready in 2
to 3 days and well keep refrigerated indefinitely. They will keep out
of the refrigerator for at least a month in hot weather, much longer in
cool weather.

Dragons' Pickled Onions

malt vinegar
peppercorns
an inch or two of peeled and crushed root ginger
dried chilis
coriander seeds
mustard seeds
a few cloves (and/or any other whole spices that take your fancy)
small onions or shallots
salt

Put the vinegar and spices into a saucepan. Bring to the boil and simmer
for five minutes - no longer, otherwise the vinegar will evaporate. Take
the saucepan off the heat and leave it, covered, to cool down. (I leave
it overnight.) Peel the onions and place them in a colander, sprinkling
each layer generously with salt. Leave them overnight - stand the
colander in the sink so that the water and salt can drain away. Strain the
vinegar to remove the spices. Pack the drained onions into clean jars and
pour in enough of the spiced vinegar to cover them. You can put one or two
of the chilis in the jar with the onions if you like them VERY fiery!
Seal and label the jars of onions. Put any remaining vinegar into a sealed
bottle and keep it for making chutney or for the next batch of onions!
Store the jars of onions in a cool dark place and DO NOT EAT UNTIL
CHRISTMAS! (Or for at least four weeks.)

I haven't given any quantities for the ingredients, because it depends on
how fiery/spicy you like your pickles and how big your batch of onions is.
As a guide, for two litres of vinegar I'd use about two inches of ginger,
thirty or so peppercorns, two tablespoons of coriander seeds, six or seven
cloves, five or six small nuclear-power chilis, two tablespoons of mustard
seeds... you can also pickle onions without the spices, but you must still
boil the vinegar otherwise the pickle will go off.

You can use hot vinegar to pickle onions, but this makes the onions go
soft. I prefer them pickled cold and crisp!
