Step 1

Peel and cut the onions into chunks. Use facial tissues, ski goggles, an open window, or any of your grandmother's tricks to limit tears.

Step 2

Put the onions in a bowl and add salt and spices.

Step 3

Mix onions and salt thoroughly.

Step 4

Let it stand for 15 minutes.

Step 5

Mix and transfer the onions to the glass jar. Squeeze well as you proceed to remove the air bubbles (a fermentation pestle works very well for this!)

Step 6

Add a glass weight to keep the onions submerged.

Step 7

If the brine does not submerge the onions, pour some water into the jar.

Step 8

Install the airlock lid. Ferment for 10 to 14 days.
