- 1 red or yellow bell pepper, diced

Preparation:
Heat the olive oil and butter in a large saucepan or Dutch oven over medium-low heat. Sauté the onion and garlic for 3 minutes, or until just tender.

Bring to a boil over medium-high heat; reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes. Add drained and rinsed beans; simmer uncovered for 10 minutes longer. Stir in parsley and spoon into serving dishes. Serve with cornbread or crusty yeast bread or rolls.
