    Preheat oven to 180°C. Place the Ninja PossiblePan over medium heat, add oil and allow to heat for 2 to 3 minutes.  

  • Step 2

    Once pan is hot, add the spring onions and pepper. Sauté for 2 minutes, then mix in the garlic, ground cinnamon, coriander and cumin. Cook for 5 minutes, or until onions and peppers are softened.
