5. 1 garlic clove, finely chopped
6. 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
7. 1 teaspoon dried oregano, crumbled
8. 1 (15.5 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained

3. Heat 1 1/2 tablespoons oil in a 10-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then saute bell peppers, stirring, until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a bowl. Heat remaining 1/2 tablespoon oil in skillet over moderate heat and cook garlic, cumin, and oregano, stirring, 1 minute.
