How to make Lobio

- In a pot, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium heat and sauté 1 chopped onion for about 5 minutes until golden brown.
- Add 2 minced garlic cloves to the pot and cook for an additional minute, stirring constantly to avoid burning.

- Cover the mixture in the pot with enough water, bringing it to a boil over high heat for a few minutes.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking.
