Another fabulous recipe from you Sylvia!
Simple to make and so very delicious. 
A lovely addition to our evening salad.
Thankyou.
Ps... I still have not purchased bread since early May when I first commenced making your ‘no-knead sourdough’- it’s just so beautiful to eat!😍

These are so simple, quick, and delicious.  They have quickly become a staple in my house.  My kids like to snack in them 😊

I've made this twice now and it's really good. the onions come so soft and not at all acidic like raw pickled onions do. I use them on everything...fried eggs, sandwiches, salads. cheese plates etc.. so good.
For whole spices I've used lightly toasted fennel seeds, nigella seeds and coriander seeds which makes a nice subtle flavour that goes with everything I think.

So quick to make, and elevated our quinoa salad to another level. This hits the spot!
