Ingredients

Southern Pickled Green Onions

• 2 bunches green onions, thinly sliced (white and green parts)
• 1 cup white vinegar
• 1 cup water
• 2 Tbsp sugar
• 1 Tbsp kosher salt
• 2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
• 1 tsp black peppercorns
• 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (optional for a little Louisiana heat)

Instructions

Southern Pickled Green Onions

1. Pack the sliced green onions into a clean pint jar. Add garlic, peppercorns, and red pepper flakes if using.
2. In a small saucepan, combine vinegar, water, sugar, and salt.
3. Bring the mixture just to a simmer, stirring until the sugar and salt dissolve.
4. Carefully pour the hot brine over the onions, making sure they are fully covered.
5. Let cool to room temperature. Seal and refrigerate.
6. They’ll be lightly pickled in about an hour but really shine after sitting overnight.

Notes

These are mighty fine piled on red beans and rice, burgers, hot dogs, tacos, grilled fish, or scattered over a bowl of white beans and smoked meat gravy. The brine is good too — don’t throw it out. A splash in potato salad or slaw wakes things right up.
