So are these just used to put on sandwiches or in salads then?

[christopher575.livejournal.com]

Yeah, or like, on a cracker with cream cheese and lox, various other nibbly things. One of the appetizers we had at Tommy Gun yesterday was little toast bites with a side of cream cheese mixed with goat cheese and some lemon, with pickled onions and dates on the side. So good.

I like red onions but have never heard of them being pickled. I am intrigued.

Even though they are not beige.

I could swear they put them on the salads at Six Arms, at least sometimes.

[badrobot68.livejournal.com]

I think they do. And they may have been on Manray's chicken sandwiches.

did you steam-seal these, or whatever it is they do in canning? That's the part that keeps me from trying this.

Nah, just using a glass jar since it's a nice, non-reactive sealed storage method. The recipe (http://www.davidlebovitz.com/2008/09/pickled-red-onions/) I referred to (but left a lot of stuff out of because I didn't have it all) has you let the whole batch cool completely, then store it.
