It’s really easy to ferment things. I cut one medium red onion, added it to a jar with water, caraway seeds and a bay leaf. Weigh the water, onions and spices, make sure to zero out the jar on the scale. Add 2% salt and dissolve in the water. Add the brine back in and make sure the onions are not poking out. Close the jar and let it sit out for 4 days. Done! Now you’ve got tasty fermented onions. They go well with tons of foods, like this chickpea salad.

    Fermentation is so cool. I’ve made sauerkraut, pickles, kimchi, yogurt, and sourdough. Onions sound like a great idea.
