Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2.5 oz shallots about 2 medium
  • cup water
  • cup red wine vinegar
  • ¾ tsp salt
  • ¾ tsp sugar
  • 2 sprigs fresh thyme optional

Instructions

  • Wash and peel shallots. Slice in half lengthwise, then slice as thinly as possible with a knife. (You can also use a mandoline for this if you prefer)
  • Prepare your pickling liquid by combining the water, red wine vinegar, salt, and sugar in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally, then remove from heat.
