- MOLE POBLANO
- Ingredients:
-
- 4 CHILES MULATOS
- 4 CHILES ANCHOS
- 4 CHILES GUAJILLOS
- 4 CHILES PASILLAS
- 1 CAN WHOLE TOMATOES
- 1 LARGE ONION
- 4 GARLIC CLOVES
- 1/2 C. ALMONDS
- 1 PLAINTAIN BANANA
- 1/2 C. PEANUTS
- 1 PIECE TOASTED BREAD
- 2 CORN TORTILLAS
- 1 TABLET "ABUELITA" CHOCOLATE
- 1/8 C. SESAME SEEDS
- OIL OR LARD FOR FRYING CHOCOLATE, CHICKEN-TURKEY
-
- Devein chiles and remove seeds. Peel onion and cut in quarters. Cut
- plaintain banana in 1/4 in. pieces and set aside with chiles, etc.
-
- Heat 1/4 inch of oil in a widepan (a wok is great) and fry all ingredients,
- in batches, starting with the chiles and ending with the nuts, tomatoes and
- chocolate. As you fry all the ingredients, set them aside in a large bowl,
- mixing them together as you go.
-
- Once all ingredients have been sauteed, puree them in a blender, thinning
- them with chicken or turkey broth (or consomme cubes or powder dissolved in
- hot water). Consistency should be fairly thick, but just thin enough to
- blend to a smooth sauce.
-
- Cook over low flame (or in crock pot) for approximately two hours, or until
- Mole turns a dark reddish brown color. The perfect test for Mole is when
- you stir it, you will see the bottom of the pot!
-
- Serve over chicken, turkey, pork or sirloin tips, always accompanied by
- Mexican rice and corn tortillas or Mexican rolls (French baguettes will do
- too!)
