Sautéed Onions
Leer en EspañolIngredients:
- 1 medium onion, sliced or chopped
- 1 teaspoon oil, margarine, or butter
Directions:
1. Heat oil in a wide bottomed skillet or pan over medium-high heat.
2. Add chopped or sliced onion and cook, stirring frequently, until desired softness and color are reached. Reduce the heat as needed to prevent burning.
3. 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) at a lower heat will turn onions a rich golden brown.
Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours.
