To begin, in a large bowl, add finely sliced onions, ginger juliennes, and green chillies with the stems removed. Mix well.
Add this mixture into a glass jar pressing down a bit.
In a pan, add water, white wine vinegar, honey, thyme sprigs, salt, and peppercorns. Bring to a boil.

Let it cool to room temperature. The Pickled Onions in White Wine Vinegar is ready to use.

In time, the onions turn a lovely shade of pink due to the ginger and vinegar.
White wine vinegar works best for this recipe since it has the right amount of acidity for pickling. If not available, you can replace it with regular white vinegar.
Store the pickled onions in a glass jar since metal would react with the vinegar. Plastic containers can also spoil the taste.
When refrigerated, the pickled onions can last up to two weeks.
