To make Portuguese Cebolada, onions are sliced thinly and sautéed in olive oil until they are caramelized and tender. Garlic is then added to the pan and cooked until fragrant. Some variations of the dish also include sliced peppers or tomatoes, which are added to the pan and cooked until they are soft.

The dish is often seasoned with salt, pepper, and sometimes paprika, and it can be served hot or cold. Some versions of Portuguese Cebolada also include other ingredients such as potatoes, chorizo, or seafood.

Overall, Portuguese Cebolada is a flavorful and comforting dish that is beloved in Portugal and beyond.
