Recipe, Pickled Red Onions & Garlic!

Pickled Red Onions, so tasty and simple not to mention the many uses for them. Pickled Red Onions & Garlic is another breath buster that will bring some interesting flavors about. Pickling of these two delicious items takes very little time, they can be stored in an air tight container for weeks if not a month in the refrigerator and used in many recipes, salads, appetizers or garnishes. note: when pickling and storing the pickled item it is best to use a glass container.  With the Easter family gathering here at my home right around the corner I have decided to share some of the recipes for what I will be preparing for my family as well as what wines I will be paring  both appetizers and entre' with. First let us pickle some red onions and garlic.

2 medium red onions (thinly sliced)
20 cloves of garlic (cut into quarters)
1 cup champagne vinegar
1/2 cup white wine vinegar
1/2 cup red wine vinegar
1/4 cup raw sugar
2 bay leaves
couple of sprigs of dill
2 tbsp coarse black pepper
1 tbsp sea salt

In a glass mixing bowl combine vinegars, sugar, salt,& pepper, stir until sugar and salt are dissolved ( this can be done stove top but be sure to cool liquid before adding red onion and garlic) add sliced red onion, garlic, fresh dill and bay leaves, cover tightly with plastic wrap or a lid, place in refrigerator and let rest for 24 hour before using.
The sweet and slightly salty flavors will WOW your taste buds, I will be using this pickled red onions and garlic in two applications come Easter and will be back to share those recipes with you soon, until then!
