- ***ROASTING THE CHILIES ***
-
- 1. Lay dried mulato, ancho, pasilla, and chipotle chilies in a single layer
- in 10x15" pans. Bake in a 300'F. oven until chilies smell lightly toasted
- and are flexible, 5-8 minutes. While they are still warm, discard stems and
- shake out seeds.
-
- 2. Rinse chilies and put in a large bowl; add 8 cups boiling water. Let
- stand until soft, 20-30 minutes. Drain; save liquid. Smoothly puree
- chilies, a portion at a time, in food processor or blender. Add a total 2
- cups reserved liquid. (In processor, use a little liquid to get mixture
- moving; add rest when pureed.) Rub firmly through fine strainer into a
- bowl; discard residue. Use, or chill airtight up to 1 day.
-
- *** ROASTING THE VEGETABLES ***
-
- 1. In a 10x15" pan, combine onions, tomato, tomatillos, garlic (cut side
- down), and tortillas. Bake in a 450'F. oven, turning occasionally, until
- the vegetables and tortillas have dark brown spots or edges. Let cool. Pull
- off vegetable skins and discard.
-
- 2. Smoothly puree mixture in a food processor or blender; add a total of 1
- cup reserved chili-soaking liquid, from step 1. (In processor, use a little
- liquid to get mixture moving; add rest when pureed.) Rub firmly through
- fine strainer into a bowl; discard residue. Use, or chill airtight up to 1
- day.
-
- *** COOKING THE SEASONINGS AND THICKENERS ***
-
- 1. In a 10x12" frying pan over medium heat, stir sesame seed until toasted,
- about 4 minutes; set aside.
-
- 2. To pan, add oil, plantain, almonds, peanuts, prunes, raisins, cinnamon,
- coriander, and anise. Stir often over medium heat until mixture is richly
- browned, 10-15 minutes. Smoothly puree mixture and sesame seed in a food
- processor or blender. Add remaining chili-soaking liquid, from step 1. (In
- processor, use a little to get moving; add rest when pureed.) Use, or chill
- airtight up to 1 day.
-
- *** ASSEMBLING THE MOLE ***
-
- 1. In a 5-6 quart pan, mix chilies, vegetables, seasonings and thickeners,
- and broth. Bring to a simmer on medium heat; cover and simmer to blend
- flavors, about 2 hours, stirring often.
-
- 2. Chop chocolate; mix with sauce until melted. Use mole as suggested,
- following; or chill airtight up to 1 week or freeze up to 3 months.
