- 1 large (diced) yellow onion
- 2 (minced) garlic cloves
- 1 tsp salt

Step 1
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and melt the butter.

Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes, until softened.
Step 3
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, until fragrant.

Drain any excess fat from the skillet, if necessary.
