• 2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large pot or deep skillet over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the pot. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and translucent.

Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer uncovered for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, to blend the flavors and slightly thicken the chili.
