Directions
* Note: See the "Lemon-Rice Salad" recipe which is included in this collection.
Saute the onion, peppers, chile and garlic in the olive oil until just beginning to color and vegetables are crisp tender. Add tomatoes, fennel seed, cumin seed, oregano, cinnamon, wine and stock and simmer for 3 to 4 minutes. Don't overcook, vegetables should still have texture. Add okra and continue cooking for 2 to 3 minutes or until okra is barely tender (don't overcook or okra becomes "slimy"). Stir in beans and chopped cilantro and warm through. Season to taste with salt and pepper. To serve: Ladle vegetables into soup plates and top with a heaping tablespoon or two of the rice salad. Garnish with herb sprigs and serve immediately. This recipe yields 8 servings.
