Step 1
Heat the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat.

Add the chopped garlic and red onion to the skillet and sauté until fragrant and translucent, about 2-3 minutes.

Stir in the tomato paste, paprika, cayenne pepper, ground cumin, salt, black pepper, and optional chili flakes (if using). Cook for another 2 minutes, stirring frequently to combine the spices evenly.
