2 lrg onions chopped

3 tbl vegetable oil
1/3 cup chili powder
1 tbl ground cumin
1/2 tsp cayenne or to taste

Instructions:
Instructions: In a large bowl let the pinto beans soak in enough water to cover them by 2 inches overnight and drain them, or quick-soak them and drain them. In a large heavy kettle cook the onions and 4 of the garlic cloves, minced, in the oil over moderate heat, stirring, until the onions are softened, add the chili powder, the cumin, and the cayenne, and cook the mixture, stirring, for 30 seconds. Add the beans and the water and simmer the mixture, uncovered, adding more water if necessary to keep the beans barely covered, for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until the beans are tender.

Add the broth, the tomatoes, the bell pepper, and the corn and simmer the mixture, stirring occasionally, for 20 minutes. Add the bulgur and the zucchini and simmer the mixture, stirring occasionally, for 20 minutes, or

until the zucchini is just tender. Stir in the remaining 2 garlic cloves,

minced, the Worcestershire sauce, the olives, and salt and pepper to taste, simmer the chili for 5 minutes, and stir in the coriander. The chili may be rozen or made 4 days in advance, cooled, uncovered, and kept covered and chilled.

Makes about 12 cups, serving 6 to 8.
