Recipe Notes

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

Ingredients

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.

3-5 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.
