Ingredients:

• 1 tbsp (15 mL) olive oil
• 1/4 cup (60 mL) finely chopped onion
  
• 1/2 tsp (2.5 mL) ground cumin

Instructions:

Step 1: Heat oil in skillet set over medium heat; cook onion, cumin and half of the turmeric for about 10 minutes or until onion is translucent. Add tomatoes and half of the salt and pepper; cook for about 5 minutes or until tomatoes begin to soften.
