Servings: persons

3 cups dried black beans (turtle beans)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large green bell pepper, cored, seeded, finely chopped (about 2 cups)
2 large onions, finely chopped (about 6 cups)
8 cloves garlic, finely minced (about 1/3 cup)
2 large carrots finely chopped (about 2 cups)
1 canned chipotle pepper in adobo sauce, seeds discarded, finely chopped
1 tablespoon ground cumin
2 tablespoons dried oregano leaves
1 28-ounce can low-sodium crushed or diced tomatoes
1/4 cups white vinegar
1 teaspoon pepper
Suggested garnish: finely chopped red or green onion or cilantro with a dollop of nonfat sour cream or Greek yogurt.

1
Rinse beans 2 or 3 times. Then, place in a very large pot, add half each of the green pepper and garlic and cover with 3 quarts of hot water. Cover the pot and bring to a gentle boil, then simmer for 90 minutes or until beans are tender, but still firm. This cooking method replaces soaking the beans overnight.
2
Place olive oil in another large skillet and saute remaining green pepper, garlic, onions, and carrots until very tender, 20-30 minutes.
3
Add cumin, oregano, tomatoes, vinegar and chipotle to sauteed vegetables and simmer 10 more minutes.
4
Add vegetables to the beans and cook over medium-low heat, stirring often, until beans can be mashed with a spoon, 10-20 minutes.
5
Use a blender or food processor to puree 3-4 cups of chili and add back into pot, mixing it all together. Dish up, garnish, and serve.
