Ingredient noteA serving of up to about 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar is low in fructose. This recipe contains only about 1 1/2 teaspoons per serving, making it likely Low Fructose. If you prefer to always avoid balsamic vinegar, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
For serving
- 1–2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, for drizzling (optional)
- 2 tbsp fresh rosemary leaves, roughly chopped (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat until shimmering. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent, about 5–6 minutes.

Add the garlic, rosemary sprigs, turmeric, cumin, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 1 minute — watch the garlic closely so it doesn't brown.
