Fermented Onions

🧂 Ingredients

• 3 cups Pearl and Cipollini onions

  peeled
• 4 cups water
• 2 tbsp salt

Instructions

• 1 Once your onions are peeled add them to a mason jar so they are 1 inch from the
  top. 
• 2 Prepare a salt brine by dissolving salt in water. 

• 3 Pour brine into the mason jar until the onions are covered. 

• 4 Optional: add any additional flavourings such as pickling spices or fresh
  oregano or basil. 
• 5 Put the lid on the jar and store at room temperature in a dark place like your
  closet or cupboard.
• 6 Open the jar once a day to release carbon dioxide. Fermentation fans call this
  “burping.”

• 7 Continue this process for 3-4 weeks until fermentation bubbles no longer form. 
• 8 Move the fermented onions to your fridge once fermentation has completed and
  enjoy for the next 3-6 months.
