Cebollita
Ingredients
- 1 large white onion (about 2 cups sliced)
- 1 fresh jalapeno chili, or to taste
- 1 cup distilled white vinegar
- 1/3 cup of water
- 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar
Instructions
Nicaraguan pickled onions. Cut the onion top to bottom into 1/4-inch wedges. Slice the chili as thinly as possible. Combine the vinegar, water, salt and sugar in a large jar with a tight fitting lid. Shake until the salt and sugar dissolve. Add the onion and chili. Let the onions pickle in this mixture at room temperature or in the refrigerator for 3 days, stirring occasionally. Cebollita will keep for several weeks.
