1. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, bell pepper, and garlic; cover, cook just until softened, about 5 minutes.
2. Transfer the cooked vegetables to a 4-6 quart slow cooker. Add the potatoes, beans, stock, wine, tamari, bay leaf, and thyme and season with salt and pepper.
Cover and cook on low 6-8 hours.
Note: the original recipe calls for blue potatoes and a red pepper to fit the color scheme, but any small potatoes and any pepper will do.
