Procedure

  1. Heat oil over medium-high heat in a large pot.
  2. Add garlic and onion and cook until the onion is translucent (more clear than white).
  3. Add peppers and sauté for a few minutes. Add crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, and spices.
  4. When mixture is bubbling, reduce heat to simmer and add beans. Cover and simmer for at least 1 hour, stirring occasionally. The longer it simmers, the better it tastes.
