Peel and cut the onions into chunks. Use facial tissues, ski goggles, an open window, or any of your grandmother's tricks to limit tears.
Put the onions in a bowl and add salt and spices.
Mix onions and salt thoroughly.
Let it stand for 15 minutes.
Mix and transfer the onions to the glass jar. Squeeze well as you proceed to remove the air bubbles (a
fermentation pestle
works very well for this!)
Add a glass weight to keep the onions submerged.
If the brine does not submerge the onions, pour some water into the jar.
Install the airlock lid. Ferment for 10 to 14 days.
