Quick Pickles

A pile of pickled veggies makes a nice side dish with barbecued meat like ribs (beef or pork), or steaks.  The acid of the pickle is a nice contrast to the fat of the meat.

Ingredients
1 cup vinegar (5%)
1 cup water
1 tablespoon salt
2-3 tablespoons sugar

I simply mix everything in a deli container and then add veggies (sliced cucumbers, peppers, onions, carrots).  5 minutes of work including cleanup…

They are good the same day, I typically prepare in the morning for the evening diner.  We typically eat them all within a couple of days so I don’t know how long they would last.  Adding spices would work too.

    “Quick Pickle” sounds like a horrible high school nickname.

    Should've mentioned, Rick also soaks his sliced onions in hot tap water for 20 minutes before jarring/pickling; believe he said that evens out the color without affecting the "crunch".  
    He also always rinses his sliced/diced/minced white onion with cold water, before using raw in any application; this has also been a game-changer for me.

    @Botch hot tap water sounds like a bad idea, lookup legionella bacteria.  I personally know someone who got pneumonia from it and almost died.

    No Pic right now but I make Escabeche (no carrots) often and then Jar for later use.  Love the pickled Jalapenos and Red Onion mixture.   I actually use Joanna Gaines recipe.

    Just Vote- What if you could choose "none of the above" on an election ballot? Millions of Americans do just that, in effect, by not voting.  The result in 2016: "Nobody" won more counties, more states, and more electoral votes than either candidate for president.

    I’ve always blanched / soaked the onions , mellows them out
