DIRECTIONS:
- Combine the pork, bay leaves, onion, garlic, cilantro, carrot, and celery in a large, flameproof casserole and fill with cold water. Bring to a boil and skim off any foam that rises to the surface. Reduce the heat and simmer gently for 1 hour.
- Add the bouillon cubes to the casserole, along with the chicken, tomatoes, chili powder, orange rind, and cumin. Continue to cook for an additional 45 minutes, or until the chicken is tender. Spoon off the fat that forms on the top of the liquid.
- Add the orange juice, zucchini, cabbage, apple, prunes, cinnamon, ginger, and chorizo. Continue to simmer for an additional 20 minutes, or until the zucchini is soft and tender and the chorizo cooked through.
- Season the stew to taste with salt and pepper and serve immediately.
