Topic: Extremely simple Onion "salad/pickle"

[seekingcurry]

Here is an extremely quick (60 second) recipe for you guys to try out, I'd love to know what like-minded people think of it. Exact amounts are difficult to quantify, as I've been making this on auto pilot for years, but I'll knock some up over the next few days and add a picture of my results for comparison.

Ingredients

1x Medium Onion
1-2 tsp Schwartz Chilli Powder
2-3 tsp Lemon Juice (Jif is fine)

Method

• Very finely dice the onion and place in a small tupperware (those small lock'n'lock tubs are perfect)
  
• Add 1 tsp of Chilli Powder
• Lid on and give it a good shake
• Add more chilli powder if it looks like it needs it (should be a fairly liberal covering)
• Add 2 tsp of Lemon Juice
• Lid on and another good shake
• It should be just moist with perhaps a little excess lemon/chilli mix collecting in the bottom.
• Add more Lemon if required
• Done!

Important Note

I use Schwartz Hot Chilli powder for this as it is the perfect blend of spices; Chilli Pepper, Cumin, Salt, Oregano, Garlic, Cayenne Pepper. If you attempt this with simply powdered chilli you will be bitterly disappointed! No reason you can't blend your own combination of the above though!

That sounds like it will be pretty tasty. It's just as well you pointed out that the Schwarz chilli is in fact a spice mix though!

Just tried this with a dash of tomato ketchup and some finely chopped coriander - it was a roaring success
