Ingredients | Vegetarian Green Chili Stew

3 (15 ounce) cans black beans

¼ cup olive oil

2 cups chopped onions

2 medium red bell peppers, coarsely chopped

6 cloves garlic, chopped

2 tablespoons chili powder

2 teaspoons dried oregano

1 ½ teaspoons ground cumin

½ teaspoon ground cayenne pepper

1 (16 ounce) can tomato sauce

salt and ground black pepper to taste

Directions

Drain black beans, reserving 1/2 cup liquid. Set aside.

Heat oil in a large, heavy pot over medium-high heat. Add onions, bell peppers, and garlic; saute until onions are soft and translucent, about 10 minutes. Add chili powder, oregano, cumin, and cayenne pepper; cook and stir until fragrant, about 2 minutes.

Add reserved black beans, 1/2 cup bean liquid, and tomato sauce. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until flavors blend and chili thickens, about 15 minutes.

Season to taste with salt and pepper. Ladle chili into bowls to serve.

For a chunkier dish, use crushed tomatoes instead of tomato sauce.
