Mole Poblano   

this is my recipe for the mexican sauce called mole (pronounced moh'-lay).  It is a spicy sauce that is excellent with chicken and with enchiladas.  Not a lot of work because most of it is done in the blender.

Put in blender:
1 ½ onions
2 pasillo green peppers (seeds removed)
1 can chicken broth
2 med. tomatoes
½ bunch cilantro
1/3 bunch Italian parsley
2 chilis anchos
2 small dried red chilis
Blend until smooth.
 
In a saucepan, put
½ can chicken broth
4 cloves garlic, minced or crushed  
Bring to a boil and add blender contents.  Simmer together for 15 minutes.
 
Add to blender:
1 small stick cinnamon
4 whole cloves, ground
freshly ground black pepper
½ c. sesame seeds
½ c. slivered almonds
½ c. peanuts
½ can chicken broth
5 squares baking chocolate
¼ cup golden raisins
Blend above ingredients and add to pot.  Close lid and simmer 30 minutes or until spices and sauce are well blended.
