In a large nonstick pan, heat the remaining oil. SautÃ© the onion, for 3-4 minutes, then add in garlic and cook for one minute more, until fragrant.

These were so tasty! I wanted to eliminate the rice I usually use for my recipe, so I added some quinoa and subbed fresh chopped garden tomatoes for the sauce. It is delish! Thanks for healthy recipes!
