    So much!

    A real neat trick to this is so long as you add something substantive (peas, carrots, potatoes, chicken breast, rice and beans, mushrooms, whatever) and something acidic (tomatoes, vinegar, wine, lime juice at the end) you’ll end up with something palatable.

    Garlic and onions are the basis for a LOT of classic recipes. So many of them are literally just roasting a protein with garlic and onions.

    It’s that simple. Brown the onions, cook the garlic until it releases a nice smell (30 seconds ish), add what you want to eat and continue cooking until it’s not raw, throw in a splash of acid for good measure (I really like lime or lemon juice for this).m
