Ingredients:
2 large sweet onions, thinly sliced

4 large plum tomatoes, cut into 1/4-inch slices
dash pepper
Directions:
1. In a large skillet, saute onions in oil until lightly browned; sprinkle with salt and set aside.

3. Top with mushrooms; sprinkle with olives. Arrange tomato slices over top; sprinkle with pepper.
