Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Aromatics

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and bell pepper, and sauté for about 5 minutes or until the vegetables are softened.

  2. 2

    Add Garlic

    Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, being careful not to let it burn.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the canned kidney beans, black beans, diced tomatoes, vegetable broth, chili powder, ground cumin, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using) to the pot.

  2. 4

    Simmer

    Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally. This will allow the flavors to meld together.

Serving

  1. 5

    Taste and Adjust

    Before serving, taste the chili and adjust the seasoning with more salt, pepper, or cayenne if desired.

  2. 6

    Serve

    Serve the chili hot, either as a side dish or as a topping for your favorite main course.
