1 large red onion, finely sliced

1 chile of your choice sliced or diced. Jalapeño, Serrano, habanero, or Thai chiles work, depending on the spice level you want. I use 1 Thai chile finely diced.

1/4 cup red wine vinegar, or apple cider vinegar

1/4 cup EVOO 11/2 tsp sugar

Salt to taste

6-10 fresh mint leaves

2-3 dried rose buds, available at any Mediterranean or Middle Eastern store, or Amazon.

10-12 Black peppercorns.

Mix everything together in a sealed container. Allow to marinate overnight at least, or 1 week. Will stay in the refrigerator for 1 month.
