I'm a big fan of quickly pickled things. I often make a salad of sliced cucumber and red onion, with a dressing of red wine vinegar, a little olive oil, dill, salt and pepper (and sometimes a pinch of sugar if it's too puckery). I like to let it sit for about a half hour, so that the cucumber soften a bit but still retain a little crunch and the red onion starts to turn a feisty magenta.
The Oregonian's food section printed a recipe on Tuesday for "Quickled Kraut," a local restaurant's take on a quick pickled cabbage. It's not as quick as my cucumber salad, they recommend that you make it at least 24 hours before serving, but it sure seems simple to prepare.
