Blackhawk Tips
Notes
When you saute an onion keep the heat down relatively low...you can't do it fast or you'll just brown the onion. If you do it right the onion will turn sweet and translucent. A nicely sauteed onion will be the starting point for tons of great recipes so learn how to do it right--it will make all the difference in how your food tastes.
