  1. The pickled onions can be made up to 3 days in advance and kept in the fridge. Make extra and use in sandwiches or salads.

  2. Pouring boiling water on raw sliced onions removes some of their astringency and breaks them down a little, making it easier for the lime juice to do its pickling magic. Try this method whenever you’re serving raw onions in salads or burgers to mellow out their raw flavour.
