Lime-Pickled Onion with Jalapeno Peppers

By -
This is easy and so good on burgers, hotdogs, probably pulled pork, tacos, roast lamb/pork etc!

1 red onion, thinly sliced
3 jalapeno peppers, halved lengthwise and seeded (I also sliced them - depending what you like for pieces of jalapeno. you could make a slit in the jalapeno, seed it, and then you would have rings, or half rings, etc)
1 tbsp salt
1/3 cup lime juice
2 tbsp white vinegar or cider vinegar
1 tsp granulated sugar

In bowl, toss together onion, jalapeno peppers and salt. Let stand 1 hour.

Transfer to sieve; rinse under cold water.

Transfer to bowl; cover with cold water by 2 inches; soak for 15 minutes. Return to sieve and rinse again under cold water. Drain, pressing out liquid.

Chop jalapenos, place in bowl (this is where they chop them - but why? I just chopped them right off the bat). Add onion, lime juice, vinegar and sugar; toss to combine. Let stand for at least 1 hour or refrigerate in airtight container for up to 5 days.
