These lightly pickled onion rings are delicious with cold and smoked meats and make a great addition to any salad – especially tomato salads. This is not a pickle to set aside and store – it needs to be eaten soon after it’s made. My greengrocer calls them long purple onions; I use here ‘Tuscan onions’. This recipe is from by Greg and Lucy Malouf.
