    Preheat oven to 375 deg. F. In a large skillet beat oil and butter over low heat. Add red onion and sugar, and season with salt and pepper. Cover and cook onion until soft and translucent, about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add green onions and lemon juice; cover and cook another 5 minutes.
