Instructions
- In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for about 5 minutes, or until translucent. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
- Stir in the ground cumin and coriander. Cook for another minute, stirring constantly to toast the spices.
