Heat more olive oil in the same pot and add the chopped green bell pepper, tomatillos (husked, remove outer skin and wash), chopped onion, and minced garlic. Cook for about 5 minutes or until the vegetables are softened. Add the chopped fresh cilantro and ground cumin and cook for another 2 minutes.
