Ingredients

2 tablespoons coconut oil
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
1 medium onion, finely chopped

Preparation

1.  In a medium stock pot, heat the coconut oil for 30 seconds on medium heat.

2.  Add the cumin seeds and stir until they start to sputter. Then add the onions and cook for another minute, and then, add the tomatoes, stir and cook for a few more minutes until the tomatoes soften.
