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.
