Preparation
Heat a 4-quart sauce pot over medium heat. Add the olive oil and sauté the onion, bell peppers, jalapeño, garlic and lime peel for 7–8 minutes, until translucent and beginning to caramelize. Add all of the spices and sauté for 2 minutes. Then add the bay leaf, beans, 2 cups of vegetable stock and tomatoes.
Bring to a simmer, then turn heat to low. Cook for 2½–3 hours or until the beans are tender and the chili has thickened. Add more stock if needed for desired consistency. Remove the lime peel and bay leaf. Serve garnished as desired with onion, cilantro, shredded cheese or sour cream.
