SAUTEED RED ONIONS RECIPE RECIPES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Place a large saute pan over medium-low heat. When hot, add olive oil and sausage, pricked every few inches with the point of a knife, and cook until nicely browned, about 10 minutes. Turn sausage over, prick with knife, and cook until browned, about 10 minutes.
• Transfer sausage to a baking pan, and place in oven, leaving rendered fat in saute pan. Add onions to saute pan, and stir. Add 1/2 cup water, and scrape brown bits from bottom of pan with a wooden spoon. Cover, and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until onions are very soft, 15 to 20 minutes, adding a second 1/2 cup water if pan becomes dry. Remove lid, and stir in thyme. Season with salt and pepper. Remove sausage from oven, and serve.

Steps:

• Cut out the tough, triangular inner core of each leaf of swiss chard and cut into 1/4- to 1/2-inch slices.
• Rinse the leaves and stems separately and reserve.
• In a large nonstick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat.
• Add the garlic and cook until it turns golden brown; don't let the garlic get too brown or it will be bitter.
• Remove the garlic and set aside.
• Reserve the oil in the skillet.
• Add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil to the skillet and the onions.
• Saute over medium heat until tender, about 5 minutes.
• Add the chopped stems from the swiss chard and continue to cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the stems are very tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Add the swiss chard leaves, season with salt and pepper and cover.
• Cook 10 minutes, stirring often; you may need to add 1/2 cup chicken stock or water to keep the leaves moist.
• Transfer to a serving bowl and top with the crispy garlic.
