Introduction

Robyn Fuoco of Mainly Café and Bakery, Philadelphia, writes: "Although I don't have any formal culinary training, I've spent my entire career working as a chef. You could say the restaurant business just runs in the family. My grandfather had his own restaurant, my husband is a chef, and I'm co-owner of the Mainly Café and Bakery, where I also happen to be the pastry chef. After I've spent all day baking — and tasting — sweets, it's good to go home and make "real food" to eat. Because I'm busy, I like dinnertime to be organized. My secret is keeping the pantry well stocked with basics like olive oil, kosher salt, and a variety of pastas and beans."

Ingredients

    1/4 cup olive oil
    2 cups chopped onions
    1 2/3 cups coarsely chopped red bell peppers (about 2 medium)
    6 garlic cloves, chopped
    2 tablespoons chili powder
    2 teaspoons dried oregano
    1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
    1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
    3 15- to 16-ounce cans black beans, drained, 1/2 cup liquid reserved
    1 16-ounce can tomato sauce

Directions

Heat oil in heavy large pot over medium-high heat. Add onions, bell peppers, and garlic; sauté until onions soften, about 10 minutes. Mix in chili powder, oregano, cumin, and cayenne; stir 2 minutes. Mix in beans, 1/2 cup reserved bean liquid, and tomato sauce. Bring chili to boil, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until flavors blend and chili thickens, stirring occasionally, about 15 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
