Spicy Bean Chili (Vegetarian)

Cut the green bell pepper into approx. 1 cm cubes. Roughly chop the red onions and garlic. Slice the chili pepper lengthwise and cut into fine strips.

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add bell pepper cubes, onions, and chili, and sauté for approx. 3 minutes, stirring frequently. Reduce the heat, add cayenne pepper, paprika powder, and the cinnamon stick, and continue to sauté for another 2 minutes, stirring constantly.

Stir in the tomato paste and sauté for 1 minute. Add cumin and oregano, mix briefly, then add the garlic and continue stirring for half a minute. Deglaze with the red wine, bring to a boil, and simmer for approx. 2 minutes until the alcohol has slightly evaporated.
