- 1x Smart Meals Feeding Bag
- 5 ½ cups of water

- 2x bay leaves
- Black pepper to taste
- 2x tbsp olive oil

METHOD
- Begin by cooking the contents of the Smart Meal on the stove in water for 25-30 minutes.

- While the SM is boiling, heat the oil in a skillet. Once hot, add the sliced onions. Stir, then reduce the heat to medium and cover. Cook for about 10 minutes.
- Add the cumin and continue to cook without the lid for a further 5-10 minutes. You can increase the heat for a crispier result.
