Directions:

Combine the bulgar and orange juice and set aside. Heat the oil in a stock pot. Add the onion, garlic, and peppers. Saute until almost soft. Add the chili powder, thyme, cumin, oregano, and cinnamon. Cook for about another 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes(including the juice) and the stock. Bring to a simmer and cook for 20-30 minutes. While the chili is simmering, place another pot filled with water, and a little salt, on the stove. Blanch the green beans for about 5 minutes, strain and cool in a water bath.
