Martha Stewart Pickled Onions

This recipe for Martha Stewart’s Pickled Onions is so quick and easy to make.

When I was in Houston a couple of months ago, visiting my son, we went to a sandwich shop that had the best sandwiches. They even had gluten free bread that was delicious.

The sandwich I got had pickled onions on it. I am not a huge fan of raw onions, so I almost got the sandwich without the onions. However, I decided to get the sandwich just as it was listed on the menu.

It turns out that I loved the pickled onions on my sandwich. I instantly knew that I was going to have to make some pickled onions at home.

I have made refrigerator pickles many times. I knew onions would be similar. I decided to look for an exact recipe to try, though.

When I saw that Martha Stewart had a recipe for pickled onions in the July/August 2016 copy of Martha Stewart Living magazine, I knew that it was the one that I would try because it is perfect for my Martha Stewart Cooking Challenge.

Martha did not disappoint!

Martha Stewart Pickled Onions were so good! They were also incredibly easy to make.

I will say, I did not have nearly enough liquid to cover the onions, so I had to make more. I am not quite sure how Martha’s made the recipe work with the amount of liquid listed. I made the adjustment in the recipe below.

The recipe also says you can eat the pickled onions in two hours. While you can eat them in two hours, they are better, with a more pickled flavor, if you wait a couple of days.

If you like pickled onions, it is so easy to make them at home!

My favorite sandwich to use the pickled onions on might just be my salmon salad sandwich recipe. They had such a nice crunch to that recipe. I need to try them on Martha Stewart’s tuna sandwich recipe, too.

Notes

Martha Stewart's original recipe did not have enough liquid to cover my onions, so I 1 1/2 times the liquid of the original recipe.

Cilantro Lime Rice

Cilantro Lime Rice is an easy make at home version of a favorite restaurant rice.

We love Chipotle. We discovered it back in 2010. Once we tried it, we loved it. One of the reasons we loved it was that all of our family could eat there.

Between my eating gluten-free and my daughters having food allergies, finding a place we can all eat is hard. Chipotle quickly became a favorite.

However, I like to make at-home versions of food we love. So, I instantly started working on a Chipotle like rice that I could make at home.

I found quite a few recipes, but most of them didn’t even sound close to what Chipotle served, so I went to work on my own version.

What I came up with was a rice we love. It is not quite the same as Chipotle’s, but very close. I think this would work well with any type of Mexican meal.

Now my family can enjoy a Chipotle-style meal at home without spending time or money going out.

We also love this rice with my bacon salmon.

This cilantro lime rice is delicious with so many things. It is a versatile rice recipe that you are sure to love.

This recipe calls for basmati rice. I really think basmati does work best here. It gives it a texture and taste very close to the real thing.

And in case you are wondering, yes, the water to rice ratio is correct for this recipe. It is not the exact ratio you would use for regular rice cooking, but it works in this recipe.
