- Cover bowl; refrigerate 2 hours, stirring occasionally. After 2 hours, drain meat, reserving marinade..
- In large saucepan or Dutch oven, heat 2 tablespoons of oil, add meat, a few pieces at a time. Brown on all sides..
- Add tomatoes and juices, onions, orange peel, reserved marinade. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, simmer (covered) for 1 hour..
- If you cannot use alcohol make a simple syrup and heat it and then steep some chopped raisins or dates in it for an hour or two, and then use some liquid from that instead of the brandy. That way you're adding some flavor, but without the alcohol. Much like the other suggestions, it won't be exactly the same as adding brandy or other liquor, though..
In the French tradition, this stew uses a bouquet garni to flavor the juice. All that is is an assortment of herbs tied up in cheesecloth. If you don't have cheesecloth handy, then a white paper towel will do. You need to contain the herbs and spices so they don't actually go into the juice.
