Attack Onions... making me cry!

According to my Dukan Diet Book, I can have onion - so last night made myself a fake chilli - with some low fat mince, onion, garlic... some spices blah blah.

However - it was really hard to brown/sweat my onions with no oil in the pan - used a non stick pan, with a single squirt of spray oil - and a small onion finely chopped... I ended up using water to kind of sweat the onions and get them sizzling - but it must have taken 30 minutes to turn a tiny bit of onion from white to beige.

So my little Dukan dancing partners... how can you get your onions to brown with no oil?

Splenda!!! Mmmmm sticky and sweet onions!! Or use spray oil and wipe the pan before throwing them in! Simples! lol xx
 
Splenda.... awesome idea... I have used brown sugar before (in the old days) - shall try that.
