    Onion and Garlic Sauce FAQs

    Does it matter which kind of onions I use?

    Since the onion is cooked pretty well, it doesn't really matter which kind of onions you use. Since red onions are usually a little more expensive, this might be the time to use up your regular onions!

    How long does this sauce last?

    This sauce will last in your fridge for up to 1 week. Make sure to store it in an airtight container. However, the sauce's flavor and texture are at their best when served fresh.

    Here are lots more recipes for simple sauces and such.
