Instructions
- Sauté the chopped onion in 1 tablespoon of grapeseed or olive oil over medium high heat until translucent, about 8 minutes, stirring consistently. Add the chopped red bell pepper and continue to sauté until the pepper is fragrant and the onion begins turning brown, another 5 minutes or so.
