    Recipe



    In a large pot, put beans and enough cold water to cover. Bring to a boil over high heat, boil briskly 5 minutes, then remove from heat and let soak 1 hour. Drain and rinse well. Set beans aside.

    In pot, heat oil over medium heat. Add onions, garlic, fresh and dried chiles and paprika and saute 2 to 3 minutes. Add carrots, celery and bell peppers; saute 2 minutes more. Add remaining ingredients except fresh cilantro. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer until beans are tender and chili is thick, about 2 hours, uncovering pot after first hour. Stir in cilantro just before serving. Makes 16 to 24 servings.
