- 1/2 cup vinegar (preferably apple cider vinegar)
- 2 large oranges (zest and juice)
- 1 lemon (zest and juice)
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tsp mixed spices (such as cumin, paprika, and black pepper)
- 1/2 tsp salt

Instructions

1. Prepare the Citrus Marinade
- In a large bowl, combine the zest and juice of oranges and lemon.
- Add 1/2 cup vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 2 teaspoons of your mixed spices.
- Stir well to combine the flavors.

2. Marinate the Onions
- Add the thinly sliced onion and minced garlic to the marinade. Mix until well coated.
- Let the mixture sit for 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.

3. Pan Frying
- Heat a large pan over medium heat. Add 1 cup of water to the pan, bringing it to a gentle simmer.
- Remove the onions and garlic from the marinade and add them to the pan.
- Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are translucent and begin to brown.

4. Reduce and Serve
- Gradually add the remaining marinade to the pan, allowing the liquid to reduce slightly.
- Cook for an additional 5 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the onions and garlic.
- Remove from heat. Serve as a topping or side for your preferred protein or starch.
