Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3-4 cloves of garlic
  • Salt
  • 1 lime
  • 1 small white onion, peeled, halved, and sliced into half moons.
  • 1 Bunch radishes
  • ½ cup fresh cilantro
  • Half a pinch of dried Mexican oregano
  • 3-6 Hot chiles (Serrano, Aji Amarillo, Lemon Drop or a mix)
  • ¼ cup red wine vinegar

Instructions

  1. Add the diced onion to a pan with the olive oil over med-high heat. Do not add any salt at this stage.
  2. Stir and fry the onion until dark golden brown, add several sliced cloves of garlic in the last minute or two.
  3. Remove from pan to a plate to cool. Season with salt and a squeeze of lime juice. (Reserve oil leftover in the pan for frying eggs later or to drizzle on steak etc)
  4. Rinse the white onion well in a colander under cold water, drain and set aside.
  5. Trim up a bunch of radishes and then slice into matchsticks. (Save radish tops to use in a salad or braise.)
  6. Finely chop half a cup of cilantro, seed and dice hot chiles according to your preference (one red Serrano, four Aji Amarillo, two Lemon Drop used here)
  7. Mix fried onion and garlic, raw onion, cilantro, oregano, radish, and chile with salt to taste, 1/4 cup red wine vinegar, and juice of half a lime. Toss well. Taste and add more salt or a touch more oil. Better if it sits 10 minutes before serving up.
