Janey's specific quote:
"1 Red Bell Pepper
1 Yellow Onion
2-3 Jalapenos (seeded)
Garlic
Oregano

"I saute the veggies with garlic and oregano in olive oil. Meanwhile, I have the beans boiling in a pot with season salt and black pepper. Once veggies are sauteed and garlic seeps into veggies, add to black beans. Uses a lot of water and cooks for about 3 hours. Don't forget to soak the beans overnight."
