Heat oil over medium high heat.
Sauté the onion and salt for about 2 minutes or until onion begins to soften then add the the garlic and sauté until the onion is almost translucent, about 3 to 4 minutes more.

Made this for dinner last night. We enjoyed it - the only problem was there was still a lot of liquid in the dish even after 1 1/2 hours in the oven. Not sure if all the liquid was supposed to evaporate or not? I think if I was making again I would cut down on the water so that it resulted in a dry dish - would be far tastier. But a really easy and healthy dish to make. Thanks.

I WILL NOT say they are Vegetarian or Vegan any longer due to the database changes. I DO NOT WISH YOU TO RECOMMEND THEM. Consider them as faulty. It's your own fault if you trust them. Don't bother to review. Don't ask me a question. I won't answer. I'm not here anymore. I will NOT warrent any recipe on this site put up by me as correct due to Scripps problems. IF they claim to have fixed it, I still do not warrent any recipe as correct except the ones that I put up personally on the tripod site so use any recipe posted under my name at your own risk. Basic? Lots of luck. Now the ones at chef.philocrates.tripod.com [see De Gustibus Veg*n in link on top], yeah, I will take responsiblity for all of them and the ingredients. I put them up and any errors are all mine. No the door didn't hit me on the ### but the skid marks in the parking lot are mine.
