Dice the tomato and onion into small pieces, and mince the garlic cloves finely. This will ensure even cooking and a balanced flavor throughout the dish.

In a pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing them until they become fragrant and the onion turns translucent.
