Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 onion diced
- 100 g lardons/diced bacon (preferably smoked)

To serve...

Instructions
- Place the oil and diced onions in a medium to large saucepan and cook over a low heat, with the lid on for 3 minutes, to soften the onions. Stir occasionally
- Turn the heat up and add the lardons/diced bacon. Fry for 2 minutes, stirring regularly, until the lardons and onions are lightly browned.
- Turn the heat back down and add the garlic. Fry for 1 minute, stirring occasionally.
