CLASSIC MOLE POBLANO SAWCE
4 dried pasilla Chiles, stems and seeds removed
4 dried red New Mexican chiles, stems and seeds removed
1 medium onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
2 medium tomatoes, peeled and seeds removed, chopped
2 tablespoons sesame seeds
1/2 cup almonds
1/2 corn tortilla, torn into pieces
1/4 cup raisins
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon round coriander
3 tablespoons shortening or vegetable oil
1 cup chicken broth
1 ounce bitter chocolate (or more to taste)
Combine the chiles, onion, garlic, tomatoes, 1 tablespoon of the sesame seeds, almonds, tortilla, raisins, cloves, cinnamon, and coriander. Puree small amounts of this mixture in a blender until smooth. (I added a small of amount of water each time to make it smooth.)
Melt the shortening in a skillet and sauté the puree for 10 minutes, stirring frequently. Add the chicken broth and chocolate and cook over a very low heat for 45 minutes. The sauce should be very thick. The remaining sesame seeds are used as a garnish.
Serving suggestion: Grill your self some chicken or turkey as this is primarily a poultry-friendly sauce. Rice makes a awesome side dish!
Then proceed to get drunk and play Cawadoody.

Looks more complicated than the synthesis reaction we ran at work last week. Completely worth it though. Mole is something I've never attempted to make out of sheer intimidation.Posted 11-20-2012 at 12:38 AM by Rowdy

It's a traditional Mexican dish, while it has it's place, I rather despise Americanized Mexican cooking.
For those that do not wish to man up and make it from scratch, some grocery stores and specialized stores sell it in ready made form - just add chicken broth.Posted 11-20-2012 at 02:46 PM by CTU_Davis

My favorite thing is mango flavored dum-dums. Pretty easy, just got to unwrap it.
