To make pickled red onions, you typically start by heating a mixture of vinegar, water, sugar, and salt until the sugar and salt dissolve. Then, you add the thinly sliced red onions to the mixture and let them marinate for at least a few hours, preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld together.
Pickled red onions can be used in a variety of dishes to add a bright, tangy flavor and a pop of color. Theyβre often used as a topping for tacos, sandwiches, salads, burgers, and more. They can also be served longside grilled meats or as part of a charcuterie or cheese board. Pickled red onions can be stored in the refrigerator for several weeks, making them a convenient and versatile condiment to have on hand.
Ingredients
Red Onion β 1 Large (peeled & thinly sliced)
Apple Cider Vinegar β Β½ cup
Water β ΒΌ cup
Sea Salt β 1 tsp
Honey - 3 tbsp
Bayleaf β 1
Whole Cloves β 5
Star Anise β 1
Method
1. Place onions in a glass jar or bowl and set aside.
2. Add apple cider, water, sea salt, honey, bayleaf, cloves, & star anise to a small pot over high heat.
3. Whisk until sweetener is dissolved & bring to a simmer.
4. Pour over onions and let stand for a minimum of 30 minutes before use or overnight for best results.
5. Enjoy!

Ingredients
AP Flour β 510g. + 60g.
Sea Salt β 1 tsp.
Unsalted Butter β 57g. (cold) + 397g. (room temp.)
Cold Water β 283g.
Method
1. For your dough, combineΒ the flour and salt in a large mixing bowl.
2. WithΒ a pastry blenderΒ or your fingertips, cut or rub the butter into the flour until it resembles cornmeal.
3. Add the cold water to the bowl and knead to a smooth consistency (about 3 minutes).
4. Cover and let rest for 5 minutes.
5. Pat the dough into a 9β square, wrap in plastic wrap & refrigerate for 30 minutes.
6. For your butter block, combine remaining flour and butter until theyβre well blended and smooth.
7. Pat the butter/flour mixture into an 8β square on a lightly floured piece of parchment or waxed paper and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
8. For lamination, gently roll your dough into a 12β square.
9. PlaceΒ the chilled butter in the center of the dough at a 45Β° angle, so it looks like a diamond in a square. Fold the corners of the dough over the butter until they meet in the middle. Pinch and seal the edges of the dough together.
10. Turn the square over and tap it gently with your rolling pin (or hands) into a rectangular shape. Make sure everything is still completely (thoughΒ lightly) floured. Roll the dough into a 20β x 10β rectangle. As you work keep the dough, the table, and the rolling pin well dusted with flour. Turn the dough over from time to time to keep the layers even.
11. When the dough is the right size, brush any excess flour off the top, and fold the bottom third of the dough up to the center and the top third over (like a business letter).
12. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate it for 15 minutes to chill and relax.
13. Repeat 5 more times.
14. When all six turns are done, put the dough in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours or overnight for best results.
15. On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough until itβs a ΒΌ inch.
16. Remove edges to help with the puff when baking.
17. Cut, shape & fill as desired.
18. For storage, fold it up like a letter, double wrap with plastic wrap and freeze for up to sixΒ months. Thaw overnight in your refrigerator before use.

To make fermented pepper sauce, chili peppers are typically combined with salt and sometimes other ingredients like garlic, onions, or spices. The mixture is then left to ferment for a period of time, usually several days to a few weeks, depending on the desired flavor profile. During fermentation, beneficial bacteria break down sugars and starches in the peppers, creating lactic acid and other compounds that contribute to the sauce's flavor and tanginess. Fermentation also helps to preserve the sauce.
Ingredients
Hot Pepper β 4 cups (quartered)
Water - 2 cups (filtered)
Sea Salt β 1 tablespoon (17 g)
Garlic Cloves β 8 (lightly crushed)
Fine Thyme β 8 sprigs
Bay leaf β 1
Large Spanish Onion β 1 (ΒΎ inch thick slice)
White Vinegar β 2 tbsp
Method
1. Wash your hot peppers in a mixture of baking soda and water (1 tsp of baking soda for every 2 cups of water).
2. Drain off excess liquid, quarter and set aside.
3. Combine water and salt, stirring until salt is fully dissolved.
4. Fill your glass jar with 4 cloves of garlic + 4 sprigs of fine thyme.
5. Add hot peppers, ensuring to pack your jar tightly.
6. Top with remaining garlic, fine thyme & bay leaf.
7. Add water mixture and onion slice.
8. Cover, store at room temperature and allow to ferment for 5 days or up to 4 weeks before straining and blending.
9. Store in your refrigerator for up to 6 months.

Tips/Fun Facts
1. Mustard oil adds depth & flavour to your dish.
2. Methi seeds & cumin seeds are a must for me in all my curries as they also elevate, add depth and complexity.
3. Sauteing these ingredients helps to open them up, releasing its flavor and infusing it into the oil.
4. Hydrating curry powders before cooking offers several benefits, including flavor infusion, aromatic release, uniform distribution, improved spice adherence, enhanced color, better oil absorption, and prevention of dryness. Creating a paste with water or other liquids helps release the full potential of the spices, resulting in a more flavorful and visually appealing dish.
5. Adding coconut milk to curry dishes enhances creaminess, balances spices, adds aromatic depth, imparts slight sweetness, acts as a natural thickening agent, provides dish versatility, and meets dietary considerations for vegan or vegetarian options.
6. Eggplant is often used as a meat substitute as it has a similar texture & absorbs flavours well.
7. Tomato has a mild and natural acidic flavor which helps to balance the sweetness of the coconut milk. It also adds another textural element to the dish and colour enhancement.
8. Balancing the five main flavorsβsalt, sweet, acid, heat, and umamiβis crucial in creating well-rounded dishes. Salt enhances flavors, sweetness adds comfort, acidity provides brightness, heat adds warmth, and umami contributes savory depth. Achieving harmony involves gradual adjustments, considering individual ingredient characteristics, and tasting throughout the cooking process to suit preferences and achieve a balanced and delicious result.
9. Adding freshly cut chadon beni at the end takes full advantage of its aroma and fresh flavors.
