1 green and 1 purple bell peppers, diced (111g, 96g)
6" hot pepper, diced (22g)
1t salt
1T cumin
4 strands oregano, fresh, minced
1T paprika
1T cayenne

Tips
Raw beans have a toxic element in them that soaking and cooking at high temperatures nullifies. Red beans have the highest levels of toxicity. Raw beans should not be cooked in a slow cooker. The baking soda also helps address the toxic element, which causes gas. Kombucha, a seaweed, may also be used instead of baking powder.
Nutritional information accounts for water as the quart of liquid, but I used whey. You may use vegetable broth or chicken stock, etc. The flavor difference is subtle. Use what you have on hand. Whey adds protein, but is not vegan.
Directions
Cover beans in water, add baking soda, bring to boil, and cook covered for 30 min.
Prepare the next four groupings in separate bowls. Drain and rinse. Rinse the pot and heat olive oil until a bit of the first grouping added pops and sizzles. Add the aromatics (leek, garlic, peppers) and sautee for 6min. Add the spice grouping and stir constantly for 2min. Pour in a quart of liquid and scrub the bottom vigorously. Add sweet potatoes and simmer 10min. Add tomatoes. Continue to simmer until desired consistency, stirring often.
