2. Once the oil is heated, add onions and garlic. Cook together for 3 minutes until the onions become translucent.
Stage 2 - Add Remaining Ingredients to Dovi
1. Add the remaining vegetable stock, tomato paste, cayenne pepper and carrots. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes.
