Preparation

  • Heat olive oil in a pot and sauté onions until translucent, about 5 minutes.
    1 cup onion

    1 cup bell peppers
  • Stir in beans and broth, bringing the stew to a gentle simmer for 20 minutes.

Notes

For best results, allow the stew to rest for 10 minutes before serving. This enhances the flavors as they meld together. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to five days or freeze for up to three months. Reheat gently, adding a touch of water if it thickens.
