Servings: 0
Ingredients
- Shallots (Don’t get bummed as a specific variety of onions) – ½ cup minced, 2 ½ ounces will serve 12 people.
- ¼ cup white vinegar
- ¼ cup unseasoned rice vinegar ( However if you use seasoned rice vinegar, you need to discard sugar and salt)
- Sugar
- Salt
- Peppercorns
Instructions
- As you can guess, Mincing the shallots will be the first step. However, the choice remains with you, whether you want to do it manually or with the help of a grinder, but one thing to keep in mind is not to mince them too finely as a paste. Mince them no thinner than a matchstick, and that would be satisfactory.
- Add the remaining ingredients & mix them. First of all, add white vinegar and unseasoned rice vinegar to minced shallots in a glass bowl or any other unreactive bowl and mix. Then, add salt and sugar according to your taste and finish by adding peppercorns, one of the dish’s main ingredients. Mix them well with the help of a fork, so all the flavors blend.
- Refrigerate!!!! After mixing all the ingredients well, cover the top of the bowl with the help of a foil. Then leave it to refrigerate for a minimum of 4 hours. However, the longer it rests, the better it will taste. So you can also keep it for two days, which will help the flavors blend even more. If you see the peppercorns sinking to the bottom, stir it, and then your dish is ready to plate.
