Carmelized Sweet Onions

1-3 large sweet onions
1-3 cloves chopped garlic
1-4 T olive oil or butter
Salt
Another vegetable

Cut the onions in large half moons and sauté them in butter or olive oil, stirring regularly. After a few minutes add the garlic and continue cooking till the onions are quite brown. At this point add:
Cut up broccoli, sweet peppers, summer squash, eggplant, steamed green or yellow beans, or another vegetable and continue cooking until the vegetable is tender. Eat with potatoes, rice, pasta, pesto pasta (the best), or good bread.
