Ingredients

  • 1 cup red wine vinegar
  • 8 peppercorns, whole
  • 1 red chilli, deseeded and sliced
  • 3 T caster sugar
  • 2 red onions, peeled and thinly sliced
  • 8 slices rye bread
  • hummus
  • extra-virgin olive oil, a drizzle
  • pickled onions
  • lemony sumac or a good crack of freshly ground black pepper

Method

In a saucepan over a medium to low heat, gently simmer the red wine vinegar, whole peppercorns, red chilli, deseeded and sliced, and caster sugar for 5 minutes.

Remove from the heat and pour the liquid over the peeled and thinly sliced red onions. Chill overnight.

To serve, cut a loaf of fresh rye bread into 8 slices and spread each slice with hummus and a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil. Top with the pickled onions and sprinkle with lemony sumac or a good crack of freshly ground black pepper.
