Add @onion{1/2%onion}, @red bell pepper{1/4%red bell pepper}, and @white mushrooms{4-5%pieces} to a #food processor{} and pulse until roughly chopped and around the same size. Sauté this mixture in a #pan over medium heat until most of the moisture has cooked out (optionally sprinkle @salt{1%tsp} to draw out more water). Remove from pan and set aside.
