This is a recipe from the Biscuit Head: New Southern Biscuits, Breakfast, and Brunch cookbook. Along with 12 Bones Smokehouse: A Mountain BBQ Cookbook, it is my favorite southern cookbook published in the last year.
These onions take only a few minutes to prep and cook and then they are refrigerated where they will keep for several weeks. But trust me. They will not last that long. You will want to put them on EVERYTHING.
Type Of Onions To Use
For the best flavor you’ll want to use sweet onions, either Vidaila onions or another variety of sweet onion.
How To Serve
I love these BBQ Pickled Onions on so many different things. The other night I put then on top of a quesadilla and I literally went back to the fridge 3 times because I kept running out of onions before I had finished my quesadilla. I bet they would also be great on nachos or tacos and they are wonderful on burgers and with pulled pork.
Make a batch of these mouthwatering BBQ Pickled Onions and they’ll add a punch to all kinds of things this summer. They even taste great plain!
