Best Answer

Sweating is a term used to describe the gentle partial cooking of onions. The term "sweat" refers to the heat and moisture bringing out the bitterness of the onions. You would usually accomplish this by chopping or dicing the onions, putting them in a pot with a little butter/wine/or water, and heating them (covered) over medium-low heat until they become translucent and floppy.

Congratulations! You just made onions sweat!
