Ingredients

  • 6 large red onions (Very thinly sliced into half-moons)
  • hot water (For blanching the onions; enough to cover them in the strainer)
  • 180 ml vinegar
  • 180 ml olive oil (A generous amount, as shown in the video)
  • 10 g salt
  • 3 tbsp oregano
  • 1 tbsp red pepper flakes
  • 0.5 maço parsley (Chopped)

Steps

  1. 1

    Slice the red onions into very thin half-moons using a sharp knife or a mandoline.

  2. 2

    Transfer the sliced onions to a strainer and pour hot water over them to blanch them. This process reduces the onion's strongest sharpness, softens its flavor, and helps it absorb the marinade better.

  3. 3

    Let the onions drain thoroughly, removing any excess water.

  4. 4

    In a container, mix the vinegar, olive oil, salt, oregano, red pepper flakes, and chopped parsley until the marinade is combined.

  5. 5

    Place the drained onions in a sterilized jar and add all the marinade.

  6. 6

    Mix well so the seasoning coats the onions evenly.

  7. 7

    Cover the jar and let it rest for at least 1 hour before serving.

  8. 8

    Serve as an accompaniment to picanha, roasted meat, sausage, or other barbecue dishes.

Notes

The author recommends preparing it a day in advance and refrigerating it for a more intense flavor. The source does not specify the exact amount of hot water. The yield is estimated based on six large onions and serving it as an accompaniment.
