Pickled Onions: Our favourite ingredients to cook at home

Pickled onions are small onions preserved in vinegar, often with a little sugar, salt or spice, so they stay crunchy with a sharp, tangy bite. Silverskin onions are a tiny, mild variety, often served as cocktail onions.

They are a British pub and larder favourite, served with a ploughman's lunch, cheese and cold meats, and sold from big jars in traditional chip shops. With our Easy home Fish & Chips, a pickled onion or two on the side adds a sharp crunch. Prime Food stocks Bartons Traditional Pickled Onions 450g, plus Sarson's Silverskin, Sweet, and Hot and Spicy Onions in 460g jars.
