  • Slice the onions in strips.
  • Slice the Panela into strips

Cooking

  • Place a pan or skillet over medium heat with a 2 tsp of oil.
  • Place the Panela in the, cook until it has browned on one side, then flip. It should only take a couple minutes.
  • Remove the cheese. Add the onions to the pan, cook until soften.

Notes

Make sure you have plenty of oil the pan. The cheese should release when it's done one side. If you try to pry it off too early it will stick really bad to the pan. Also watch your heat closely to make you are browning the cheese, not burning it. It may take some trial and error to get it just right.
