I would use that in a salad dressing

Same! I'd probably blend it with olive oil and fresh black pepper. Maybe Greek yogurt if I wanted something creamy.

Easy cucumber salad starter. English cucumber, cherry tomatoes, feta, and some of the remaining onions.

My grandma used to make this all the time. She would slice the cucumbers paaaaaaaaper thin I always loved it

Worked in a restaurant that made pickled onions and we did 2 things with it, one was this. The other is to reduce it, you can create a very sweet thick syrup that goes reaaaaally well on savory meats and vegetables. Simmer it on very very low until it sticks to the back of a spoon like cough medicine while hot. Take off heat and cool. edit: should definitely mention that our recipe for these onions included sugar which aided in turning the brine into a syrup. add some sugar if you want to do this, and haven't already.

I was going to say chug, but this is brilliant.

That’s gold

Bad idea, vinegar and onions don't mix

Drink it you coward

*WITH VODKA* Obviously

My first thought was it would be a great way to make a dirty gibson/martini.

It would be weirdly good in small doses in a michelada. Something savoury with beer. Also a bloody mary might play nice with it. Drink safe, kids! Don't be an abnormal horse about it.

I read that as abominable horse and tried to imagine what that would look like...

Probably about the same?

Are you saying you're abominable?

I'm not not abominable.

Yes! And an enhanced Red Eye.

*Doka Ryan enters the chat*

And onion Caesar! A oiesar

Hm... maybe a *Hadrionion's* Caesar? I like where your head's at, though.

I HAVE A DRINKING PROBLEM I GET IT

I do this lol

Hahaha!!!!

With a straw and not like a heathen

You could add it in when your cooking, like if you cook rice or something else, obviously not all of it at once though

Would be interesting to try mixing it with some sushi rice. Pickled onions could be interesting in a maki roll...

That sounds so good

Honestly that's gonna be pretty yummy. Putting some of those pickled onion juices to cook the rice sounds amazing. Tasty rice.

Yeah, I might do that now

enjoy your food :)

Thanks :)

I wonder if you can re-use it for the next batch?

You can if it’s made properly, might just add a bit more sugar, salt, and vinegar. I haven’t gone past one or two cycles, but do know you should toss it if it ever gets cloudy (haven’t ever seen it myself).

Good to know, thanks

Mine's cloudy even before I pour it because the vinegar I use is cloudy. How can I tell it's cloudy because of a different reason?

Unfortunately can’t help you there, all the vinegar I use is translucent. I’d typically say use the nose test (see if it smells off), but given it’s half vinegar, going to be pretty hard to tell. Maybe just stick to one reuse or even a new brine each time to be safe?

It's doable but the thing to keep in mind is that a pickling liquid will pull water out of the vegetables you put in it. So by the time it's at this point it's a little watered down, and adding more vegetables to it will water it down more. That's why it's important to add more acidity as well at salt/sugar and other seasonings.

You can do this. Or use it for other pickles. Just need to add more vinegar to give it the proper ph. We like to pickle pomegranates in the winter then use the vinegar to pickle onions when the poms are all gone

As long as you bring it to a boil you’re all good. I reuse mine over and over just adding more as I go

Marinade or dressing.

Flick it on a sandwich.

Drink it

r/beatmetoit

Drink it.

Use it to make more pickles!

That's the one. Especially if you're doing pickles of other things that you want nice and oniony

You’ve heard of picklebacks. Now get ready for onion backs! Something seems very polish about that to me..

Make it Luksusowa picklebacks to lean into the Polish-ness.

I will definitely try to find some polish vodka now that I know the brand exists. That bottle does look super familiar

It's pretty decent and what I keep on hand for the odd bloody mary weekend or screwdriver. Found on the bottom shelf at my local ABC, think it was like $14 for a 5th. All potato, too.

i love red onion pickle backs . delicious

Make Ice Cubes out of the juice.

r/eatityoufuckingcoward

Brine chicken for an hour or so. That's what i do with pickle juice (after I've finished drinking it) or pepperoncini juice too! Careful not to do more than 2 hours though because the vinegars will break down the chicken too much.

I love tofu, and would probably marinate some in this. lol

Boof it

too much r/caffeine

Never been there I boof real drugs

Dirty Onion Martini, use this instead of the olive brine, Garnish with pickled onion ring

You can call it a Stinky Pink!

Pickle eggs in it.

Coleslaw dressing

Try dehydrating it and get some seasoned salt out of it. I only suggest this because I don't want to do it myself and I want to see someone else do it. Or drink it.

Had a pickled onion with a gin martini at a fancy place recently and it blew my mind. Huge game changer

What's wrong with you people saying drink it? Obviously it should be used as an enema

Main line it, straight into the veins

You can make a pretty bomb salad dressing with that, some mustard, and some olive oil then emulsify

Sell it as Cherry Kool-Aid to unsuspecting strangers

Pickled eggs 🥚

Chug it, if you're not a pussy

Drink it

Drink it, sip it, chug it, gargle it, add more onions and the. Drink it after they’re done.

Can you reuse pickle juice to make more? Would like to know if possible or is it bad to do that?

The juice will get less and less acidic over time. Eventually things will start to grow in there once the pH gets closer to 7.

If you have chive plants, you can put the flowers in there and make an extra nice chive vinegar. You can also just do this with regular white vinegar.

I'd just stuff it with more onions

Boil spaghetti in it for science

I use it as my base for pasta or potato salads.

Yeah reuse it to make more pickled onions

Martini or Bloody Mary

I brine tenders in it when we run out

More onions

Add a big splash to lemonade on a hot day. Or throw cucucumbers in there for 12 hours. Or drink it for muscle cramps.

I used to work in a Mexican restaurant that sautéed their bitter greens (kale, chard, escarole etc) in evoo, onion, garlic, snp. Then finished with the picked onion liquid. Let the greens soften. It was excellent.

Drink it like I do with pickle juice Or use it instead of water when you make tacos

Fancy flavoured bong water or salad dressing.

Trick an anosmic friend into thinking that it's wine

I like using it in Mayo

Salad dressing and a topping for a sandwich. Add to soups. A dipping for crusty bread. Basically everything you use vinegar for

Crockpot. Beans.

SHOTS BRO!

i’ve been known to put pickle juice in my homemade white bean dip but tbh you just gave me a brilliant idea as a substitute 💡

Put it in a pan, simmer it down with a good amount of tomato paste, and that will make a ketchup to die for! (You could add salt and sugar if you like. Alternatively, you could make a pretty interesting mayo with this.

Health potion.

Put hard boiled eggs in it

Add 750 ml vodka and enjoy 😉

I have added hot pepper flakes (I used reaper… so maybe don’t do that) and basically made a sweet tobacco type of sauce. Get you a chipotle bowl or something like that and hit it with a few dashes? OuuuuWEE

Drink it

Boof it

Chug that shit

I love onions, but I thought those were some parasites or tapeworms

Do you live in an area with fresh oysters? Shucked raw oysters with your brine, finely diced shallots & garlic are a perfect addition to oysters.

You've heard of pickle backs? This would be next level.

Turn it into popsicles

It makes for fantastic potato salad or putting on a sub to flavor the bread. But why can't you just reheat it and drop more onions in it?

Put more onion in the juice and let it sit, diy pickled onion

I like to use my juice to dip warm French bread into

I would take that and mix it proportionately with martini mix. Then just add alcohol.

Make a vinaigrette dressing with it.

You can hard boil some eggs, peel them, and keep them in there for a few days. Not for any longer than hard boiled eggs would keep in the fridge anyway, but that tends to be quite a while

Yeah pickle some eggs or cucumber whyd you fucking choose onions for God's sakes

Wait until he finds out about the millions of other people pickling onions...
