Serving Size:
1/2 cup

Ingredients:

  • 1 medium onion, sliced or chopped
  • 1 teaspoon oil, margarine, or butter

Directions:

Heat oil in a wide-bottomed skillet or pan over medium-high heat.

Add chopped or sliced onion and cook, stirring frequently, until desired softness and color are reached.

Reduce the heat as needed to prevent burning.

In just 3-5 minutes – onions will be crisp-tender and a clear white
Longer cooking will start to brown the onions. They will become softer and sweeter.
Cooking for a long time (30 minutes or more) on very low heat will turn onions a rich golden brown.

Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours.

Notes:

When sauteing more than one onion, avoid crowding them in the pan.
