Place a non-stick pan on medium heat and add oil. Add onion and cook for 2-3 minutes. Then add tomato, capsicum, parsley and cook for a further 2-3 minutes. Mix through spices and cook for an additional 30sec-1min (be careful not to burn the spices). Add in 50 mLs of water, stir and cover the pan with a lid.
