  • 2 Tbsp Sicilian Lemon Infused Olive Oil

  • 1 Small Yellow Onion, small diced

  • 1 Red Bell Pepper, diced small

  • 1 Jalapeño, diced

Directions

  1. In a large skillet, heat the Key Lime Olive Oil over medium and add the onions, bell pepper, jalapeño, and garlic. Sauté until onions are translucent, about 6 minutes.
