• Red onion - 50 grams, finely chopped
• Fresh parsley - 2 tablespoons, chopped

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).

3. In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat and sauté the chopped red onion until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

5. In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
