Step 1

Add 1 tsp of oil to a saucepan over a low to medium heat, then add the onion. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring regularly until softened, then remove from the heat.

Heat a non-stick pan over a medium to low heat. Add the remaining teaspoon of oil and wipe it around the pan with kitchen paper, before adding ¼ of the mixture. Spread it around the pan with the back of a spoon, about 12-15cm diameter and ½cm thick.
