Recipe Review

wester from Soesterberg, Utr

Yes, you can call the process of dunking these onions in brine for a few seconds and taking them out a again tedious, or you can call it meditative. I think it's quite doable to spend a few minutes on doing a batch, and then do other things while they cool down, and come back when you have a few more minutes to spare. And the kids loved helping separate the onion rings: when they are a bit older they can help dunking as well.

I did not quite know what to do with the whole spices during this process. They come out with the onions - do I put them back in the brine again? (I did.) Or is it supposed to have infused with the spices enough earlier? (I'll see, sometime.)

The end result is good, very pink, quite sweet, which is enhanced by the spice mix, and still with a bit of crunch.
