to ask you to solve my pickled onion problem? I have three jars of the fuckers

[Greensleeves]

What can I do with a large quantity of pickled onions? I am trying to use up all my Christmas food without wasting it, but we simply are not going to eat three jars of pickled onions! Is there anything I can cook them in that won't just taste entirely of vinegar?

Have just made turkey, veg, stuffing and cranberry pasties with the last of the Christmas turkey :)

give them all to meeeeeeee

Food bank?

Would a food bank really want pickled onions?

Pickled onions last for years, what is the problem

Stick in back of cupboard and use for next Christmas, they will be fine!

Have them with every meal. Chuck a couple on your coco pops, pop one in your tea, make your whole life onion-scented.

Or chuck a few chillies and spices into the jars and make different flavoured ones.

I don’t see why not? If they’re still sealed.

I hate pickled onions but I love the vinegar on chips. Dp loves them but not the vinegar. We’re like Jack spratt and his wife.

Set them on fire

I could just save them for next year, but I rather liked the idea of finding a way of using them up (yes, I should get out more) and I'm trying to clear some space in the kitchen

hadn't thought of putting them in my coco pops though, that's genius [boak]

Stew beef with drained halfed onions works if they are pickled.

Pickled onions on a cheese toastie is really nice.

You could add them into some veggies when roasting that’s nice too.

Cheese and crackers with a pickled onion on top is nice too.

Use them in sandwiches? Dh makes his own pickled onions and uses them in salads, sandwiches, as an extra on a plate of crackers, cheeses, pickles and dips etc. He also uses the flavoured vinegar in cooking, for example in sweet and sour sauce.

If you don't use them and don't want to eat them, save them until next year. They are, after all, pickled in order to preserve them!

Apparently the redcurrant jelly and wine in this Silvana Franco recipe offsets the sharpness of the onions... I haven't tried this particular recipe but other ones I tried from the cookbook (the Best which was a TV cookery show in the 90s!) were really good!

1 tbsp olive oil
4 rashers smoked streaky bacon
750g cubed casserole or braising steak
4 tbsp plain flour
75cl bottle red wine
1x 450g jar silverskin pickled onions drained and rinsed (250g drained
weight)
3 tbsp redcurrant jelly
2 fresh thyme sprigs
375g pack ready-rolled puff pastry
salt and freshly ground black pepper

1 Heat the oil in a large casserole pan cut the bacon into 1 cm wide strips, and add to the pan.

2 Season the flour with salt and pepper then toss the steak in the mixture. Shake off any excess flour then add to the pan and cook for 7-8 minutes, turning from time to time until nicely browned.

3 Add the wine, pickled onions, recurrent jelly and thyme. Bring to the boil, partially cover and simmer for 1 hour.

4 Preheat the oven to 200c / gas 6. Open out the pastry and cut to about
2cm larger than the pan, rolling out slightly thinner if necessary. Place on top of the steak, tucking in the edges to enclose the filling. Brush with milk then bake for 20 minutes until golden and puffed.

Or wait until brexit and sell them to preppers.

Sorry it is called Lazy Steal and Pickled Onion pie

Steak

Kill them with fire?

^^ that's a vom face, definitely not envy

Ooh, I love the casserole idea! Wonder if i could use cranberry sauce instead of redcurrant jelly!

Pmsl at preppers

I raise your pickled onions by 3 jars of chutney, 1 red cabbage, 2 piccalilli and 1 pickled beetroot! 😩

Pickled onions in or with stew is the dogs doodahs drain them and chop them in you won't be dissapointed and un opened they will survive the apocolypse or till next christmas, we love pickled onions so we eat them with most things.

On a food Facebook page I am on someone had fried them with a bubble and squeak style dish and they looked lush, I think it was a Jamie Oliver recipe

Sorry OP nothing to suggest but wanted to say your thread title made me laugh!

MrsJayy I am making hotpot for dinner tonight and am so tempted to chuck some in...but will it make the whole thing taste of vinegar?

Once fried in a block of butter they don't taste vinegar. I've often used a jar because I'm too lazy to peel fiddly small onions and the whole ones are nicer in Hunter chicken or steak and ale.

Make Tom soup. Tastes just like henize. Tin of carrots, some pickled onions, couple of times of chopped Tom's. Bring it all to the boil and then blend smooth
