3 Tbs olive oil

1 lb boneless stewing beef, cut into 1 inch pieces

2/3 cup red wine

1 onion, finely chopped

1 green bell pepper, finely chopped

1 small fresh red chili pepper (or a jalapeno), seeded and finely chopped

3-4 cloves garlic, minced

1 carrot, coarsely grated

1/4 tsp ground coriander

1/4 tsp ground cumin

1/8 tsp ground cinnamon

1/4 tsp dried oregano

1 bay leaf

1/2 oranges, zest of, grated

5 cups beef bouillon

1/4 cup long grain white rice

3 Tbs raisins

1/2 oz semisweet chocolate, chopped in small pieces

Directions

Heat half the oil in a soup pot over medium high heat, add the meat and brown on all sides.

Remove the pan from the heat, and add the wine.

Pour the meat/wine mixture into a bowl and set aside, then put the soup pot back on the heat.

Add the remaining oil and let it heat for a minute, add the onions, stir and cover for 3 minutes.

Then add the green pepper, chile, garlic and carrot, stir and cover, cooking for 3 minutes.

Then it's time to add the coriander, cumin, cinnamon, oregano, bay leaf and orange zest.

Now add the tomatoes and bouillon, along with the beef/wine mixture--bring all of this to almost a boil, when it starts to bubble, reduce the heat to low and cover.

Simmer gently for one hour, stirring occasionally.

When the hour is up, add the rice, raisins and chocolate, cover again, and simmer for another 1/2 hour, until rice is tender.

(you may need to raise the heat up a bit)

Ladle into bowl and garnish with the cilantro.
