Chili Preparation

  1. 1

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and bell peppers, and sauté for about 5 minutes until they are softened.

    Add Garlic

    Add minced garlic to the pot and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
