Pickled onions are one of the easiest ways to add sharpness to a plate. They work with cheese, cold meats and pub classics because they cut through richness.
Serve spicy silverskin onions with cheddar and crackers, pork pie or a ploughman’s lunch. Add them to roast beef sandwiches, or chop them into potato salad. They even work in cocktails if you like a briny bite.
If your fridge has pickled onions, you are never far from a better lunch.
