The “hogao” is a kind of stir-fry.
Use the rest (3/4) of the quantity describe into the ingredients list for the marinade to make the hogao.
Combine chopped tomatoes, chopped green onions, minced garlic, ground cumin, seasoning, olive oil and salt in a skillet and saute until everything is soft and tender, kind of like a mush.
