Ingredients

2 Tablespoons olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 medium onion, small diced

Instructions

Add the olive oil to a large, heavy-bottom pot set over medium heat. Once the oil is warm, add the minced garlic, diced onions and diced peppers and cook, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are soft, about 5 minutes.
