Have on hand:

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 large yellow onion, peeled and small diced (1 cup)

Directions:
In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, add the oil, onions, and the salt and pepper, stir to combine and cook 6 to 8 minutes until the onions are transparent, stirring occasionally. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
