Fried Onions
Peel large onions; slice them very thin in rounds; sprinkle them with salt and red pepper; brown them in boiling cocoa butter, or vegetable oil; cover the frying pan with a tin cover; set it on the range to steam until the onions are very tender; serve them heaped on a hot, shallow dish; garnish them thickly with sprigs of fresh parsley to neutralize the odor after they are eaten.
