Prepare the Onion and Garlic

1. In a sauté pan or cast iron skillet, add 1 teaspoon of olive oil. I like to use my Le Creuset Cast Iron Rectangular Roaster for this because this piece can be used for the whole recipe and go from stove to oven to table.

2. Add the onion and sauté over medium heat until golden and tender, about 5 minutes.
