Sauté the chopped onion in olive oil until soft, approx. 4 mins

Super quick, super healthy!
The rich, deep, dense colours of the red onion and adzuki beans provide powerful polyphenols that our gut microbes love, garlic and leafy green veg provide more fuel for these important microscopic helpers.
You can eat warm or pack for a healthy lunch at work. You could also add some salad leaves and avocado to ring the changes. I hope you enjoy!
