Tips & Secrets
- Using small shallots or pearl onions is the absolute secret to achieving the traditional restaurant-style appearance.
- Adding a few slices of beetroot is the way to achieve that vibrant pink color without artificial dyes.
- Cutting an 'X' on the top of each onion is crucial for the vinegar to penetrate to the center rapidly.
- Store the onions in the fridge after one day; warm vinegar can eventually make the onions lose their crunch.
