    Title: Isabel's Red Mole Sauce
    Categories: Fruits, Vegetables, Chilies, Herbs, Chocolate
    Yield: 10 Servings

    5 Dried guajillo chilies;
    - cored, seeded
    5 Dried pasilla chilies; cored
    - seeded
    5 Dried ancho chilies; cored,
    - seeded
    Extra virgin olive oil
    4 lg Ripe plum tomatoes; rough
    - chopped
    1/2 Spanish onion; rough
    - chopped
    4 cl Garlic; quartered
    1 c Raisins
    1/2 ts Cumin
    1/2 ts Oregano
    1/2 ts Marjoram
    1 tb Black peppercorns
    1/4 ts Cinnamon
    4 Whole cloves
    3/4 c Chicken stock
    1 ts Salt; more to taste
    1 tb Sesame or olive oil; more to
    - taste
    1 oz Dark chocolate

    Loosely tear the dried chilies, making sure to discard
    any remaining seeds.

    In a heavy skillet toast all 15 chilies in batches over
    moderate heat until they release their aroma, 15 to 20
    seconds. Take care not to burn them. Remove them and
    soak them in water for 15 minutes.

    Meanwhile, lightly coat the same skillet with olive oil
    and saute the tomatoes, onion, garlic and raisins until
    the skins of the tomatoes begin to peel off and the
    onion softens, about 5 minutes.

    In a smaller pan, heat the dried herbs and spices (cumin
    through cloves) until they release their aromas, less
    than a minute.

    Place the rehydrated chilies, cooked vegetables, spices,
    half of the chicken stock and salt into a food processor
    or blender. Puree the mixture until is smooth. Strain
    the sauce through a sieve.

    Heat the sesame or olive oil in skillet. Add the mole
    sauce and stir in the chocolate. When the chocolate
    melts, stir in salt and extra broth to desired
    consistency and taste.

    Serve warm with shredded sauteed chicken.
