Summary: Pickled onions are so easy to make ! I pickle them whole if I am planning to eat them in a week or two, at least, but for pickled onions ready to eat overnight, I pickle them sliced.
Many people boil the vinegar and add sugar. I have found over the years that if I soak my onions in salty water overnight, it works just fine with raw room temperature vinegar. Also, I don't add any sugar, as it is healthier. If you usually buy pickled onions with sugar in them, please try this recipe, I promise you will not miss the sugar at all !
As easy as 1-2-3. 1- Soak the onions in brine overnight. 2- Rinse, drain, put in a jar with spices, if using, and wait overnight. 3- Eat in salads, sandwiches, barbecues, etc.

Summary: Legend has it that a long, long time ago, a young woman was madly in love with a Persian Prince, so she baked him a cake filled with magical love powers to make him fall in love with her. In one version of the tale, the cake works its magic and the Prince returns her love, but in another, he doesn't Either way, the Persian Love Cake is a symbol of undying love, with enchanting flavours of rosewater, cardamom and saffron. Perfect as a Valentine's Day celebratory cake, the Persian Love Cake has also become a popular choice for wedding cakes.
This is our take on the Persian Love Cake: first, we make it gluten-free by using a combination of ground almonds and ground pistachios with no flour at all, secondly we incorporate orange juice and zest into the cake, and finally, to make the cake just that little bit healthier, we skip the icing, and make a cake drizzle that has no added sugar, as the cake is sweet and lovely enough. The result is a moist, nutty, fruity, floral, enchanting, magical cake, fit for charming any Prince (or Princess).
