Set the heat to medium and put the pot on the stove. Oil should be added to the pot before the garlic and onions. Saute until onion is transparent, about 1-2 minutes.
Chunky tomatoes, bell peppers, parsley, cayenne pepper, and broth or coconut milk can all be added.
Use a stock (bouillion) cube if you don't have any broth.

Turn off the heat, plate, and top with spring onions.
