If you have 5 minutes, you can make quick pickled shallots with a sweet, sour, and tangy taste to bring more flavor and spice to your meals. {Gluten-Free, Vegan}
Add the peppercorns to a small pot. Toast over medium-low heat until fragrant, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Add the vinegar, water, sugar, and salt to the pot. Cook and stir until the sugar and salt are fully dissolved and the liquid is coming to a simmer.
Pour the hot pickling liquid over the shallots. Let the shallots cool completely.
Serve immediately, or you can store them in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
