Part 3/5:
In a large pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until they become translucent. This step is crucial as it builds the foundational flavors for the dish.
Adding the Vegetables
Next, introduce the diced zucchini and bell peppers to the pan. Sauté these vegetables for about five minutes or until they start to soften. This process not only enhances the flavors but also adds a delightful crunch to the dish.
Combining Ingredients
Add the tomato paste, paprika powder, cumin, and turmeric to the pan, stirring well to incorporate all the spices. This combination will infuse the vegetables with a rich and inviting flavor profile.
