Fry and serve with mince steaks and top with your favourite filling - eg:

Cucumber salad:

Cut the cucumber finely or grate on the mandolin iron. Dissolve the sugar in the boiling water and then add the vinegar. Season with salt and add peppercorns. Add the cucumber and let it drag for at least 2 hours.

Pickled red onion:

Bring the sugar, water and vinegar to the boil in a saucepan. Add the onion and let it cook for 2-3 minutes. Take the onions up with a fork and pour them into a scalded jam jar. Reduce the sheet by excessive heat without a lid for about 5minutes. Pour the sheet over the onions and leave to cool.

The pickled red onions can be stored for a few weeks in the fridge if you don't eat them all.
