  • Salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste
We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Place sliced onions in a large skillet over medium heat.

  • Step 2: Cover and cook, stirring infrequently, until they are dry and almost sticking to the pan (about 20 min).

  • Step 3: Now stir in the oil or butter plus a large pinch of salt.
