  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  1              pound  red onions -- small or medium, round or
torpedo shaped (not flat)
     3/4           cup  unseasoned rice vinegar -- Japanese, plus 1 Tablespoon
  6        Tablespoons  sugar -- to 7 Tablespoons
     1/4      teaspoon  dried red chile flakes -- scant
     1/4      teaspoon  Szechwan peppercorns
  3              large  garlic cloves -- lightly smashed & peeled
 
Remove the ends of the onions, peel, then cut into even
rings 3/8-inch
thick. Carefully separate the outer rings, removing the
white membrane if
loose. Central clusters may be left intact for a nice
mouthful.
 
Combine the remaining ingredients in a non-aluminum,
heavy 21/2 to 3-quart
saucepan. Bring to a simmer over moderate heat, stirring
to dissolve the
sugar; then simmer 3 minutes to infuse. Taste and adjust
with a dash more
guar or chili if desired.
 
Add the onions, reduce the heat to low, and toss with
chopsticks or the
handle ends of wooden spoons until the onions turn pink
and soften and the
liquid simmers, 3 to 4 minutes. Scrape the mixture into a
shallow bowl.
Refrigerate, uncovered, until cool, stirring
occasionally. When cool, seal
airtight.  The
onions will keep for 1 to 2 weeks if refrigerated.
 
Serve chilled or as a garnish, twisted into
figure-eights. Remove the
garlic and peppercorns and garnish with a bit of the
juice.
 
Makes 3 cups (12 one-quarter cup servings)
 
MENU SUGGESTIONS: As part of a cold pickle plate, try
teaming the onions
with peppered pecans and cucumber salad. On their own,
they have a
particular affinity with orange-zested dishes, such as
chili-orange cold
noodles.
