Slice up a Spanish onion or any other kind that you prefer. Heat your pan with some oil. I use olive, canola or avocado, and saute till the sugars have released and your onions are soft and brown. Now you can add them to anything you want to sweeten it up. They are great in a homemade tomato sauce and if you like garlic, chop some up and saute with your onions. Another great food to add to the onion mix is a can of black beans. Drain, rinse and add to pan after onions and garlic are soft, add a teaspoon of cumin, mash slightly and enjoy. Take this one step further and add a couple of eggs, scramble and you have a great breakfast. You could also top with sour cream and salsa but make sure to check your salsa label for added sugar. There are lots available without. You just have to look.
