In a large heavy pot, heat olive oil in medium heat and add meat, turning frequently to brown on all sides evenly. Season with salt when browned.

Add the onion and stir. Stir in the garlic. Sauté until wilted. Add tomatoes, stir and extinguish with white wine. Pour in a little water at room temperature; add the orange peel, bay leaves, oregano, berries, pepper, carrots and celery. Stir and pour in more water if needed to cover the 2/3 of the contents of the pot. Cover the pot and simmer until the sauce thickens and the meat is cooked, about 1 ½ to 2 hours.

About 10 minutes before removing pot from heat, add the olives and stir well to blend.

Serve garnished with grated zest, ground pepper and raw olive oil.
