In a large saucepan, heat up 1 to 2 tbsp of olive oil over medium heat. Once the pan is warm, add the garlic and onions. Once the onions are translucent, add the cumin seeds/powder. Let the cumin simmer with the onions for a few moments. If you’d like to kick it up a notch, now would be a good time to add a pinch of cayenne pepper.
