2 tablespoons olive oil

2 medium onions -- diced

2 teaspoons minced garlic

Place kidney beans, black beans, and pinto beans in the slow cooker with water

Heat olive oil in skillet on medium-high heat and saute onions for 5 minutes.

Add garlic, bell peppers, and green chiles and cook for 2 more minutes.

Transfer this mixture to slow cooker, along with parsley, tomatoes, salt, cumin,

NOTES : This colorful chili would go well with cornbread, served in a

hollowed-out bread bowl. If you wish to make a faster version, use 1 can (15

oz) of beans for each 3/4 cup dried beans to avoid the rehydrating process.
