2. Sauté the Onion:
In a large skillet or sauté pan, heat a generous amount of olive oil over medium heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the minced onion. Sauté the onion for about 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it becomes translucent and starts to soften. This step builds the base flavor of the dish.
