Time 4h

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 28

2 1/2 ounces ancho chiles (5 to 7), stemmed and seeded
2 1/2 ounces guajillo chiles (7 to 9), stemmed and seeded
3 cascabel chiles, stemmed and seeded
2 dried avocado leaves (see Cook's Note)
1 fresh bay leaf (or dried)
1-inch piece canela or 1-inch piece cassia cinnamon stick (see Cook's Note)
1 whole clove
2 teaspoons dried Mexican oregano
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
1/2 teaspoon coriander seeds
1/2 teaspoon black peppercorns
1/2 cup raisins
1/4 cup pitted prunes
2 tablespoons sliced raw almonds
2 tablespoons roasted salted peanuts
2 tablespoons raw pecans
2 tablespoons raw pumpkin seeds
2 tablespoons untoasted sesame seeds
3 tablespoons schmaltz or rendered lard
1/2 very ripe (black) plantain, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
5 cloves garlic, chopped
1/2 medium white onion, chopped
Kosher salt
One 14-ounce can fire-roasted diced tomatoes
2 quarts homemade turkey stock or low-sodium chicken broth
1 ounce bittersweet (72 percent cacao) chocolate, chopped
Roasted turkey or roasted chicken, for serving
Toasted sesame seeds, for serving

Steps:

  • Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F.
  • Toast the ancho, guajillo, cascabel, avocado leaves, bay leaf, canela, clove, oregano, cumin, coriander and peppercorns on a rimmed baking sheet until browned in spots (but not charred!) and very fragrant, nutty and spicy, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a large heatproof bowl.
  • Toast the raisins, prunes, almonds, peanuts, pecans, pumpkin seeds and sesame seeds on the same baking sheet until the nuts are lightly browned and the fruit are puffed and lightly toasted but not burnt, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer to the bowl with the toasted chiles.
  • Meanwhile, heat the schmaltz in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Add the plantains and cook until deep golden brown and caramelized on both sides, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl. Add the garlic, onions and 4 teaspoons salt to the pot and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are tender and lightly browned, 6 to 8 minutes. Add the tomatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until most of the liquid has evaporated, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the reserved chile mixture, the plantains, and the stock and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover and simmer until the chiles are very tender and fragrant, about 30 minutes. Discard the avocado leaves, bay leaf and canela (if you can find them). Remove the pot from the heat and let cool slightly.
  • Working in batches, transfer the stewed chiles to a blender and puree until very smooth and thick. Transfer to a large bowl and repeat with the remaining stewed chiles.
  • Wipe the pot clean, transfer the mole to the pot and bring to simmer over medium-high heat, stirring constantly to prevent from sticking to the bottom of the pot. Simmer until the mole is the consistency of a smooth, thick tomato sauce, 5 to 10 minutes, adding water or additional stock if the sauce is too thick. Add the chocolate and stir until melted. Season with salt. Remove from the heat. Serve over roasted turkey or roasted chicken. Top with toasted sesame seeds.

Time 45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

3 ancho chiles, stemmed and seeded
1 quart beef stock
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
4 slices lean, smoky bacon, chopped
2 pounds ground sirloin
1 large onion, finely chopped
4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
Freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 (15-ounce) can diced fire-roasted tomatoes
2 tablespoons smoked sweet paprika for mild mole, or chili powder for spicy mole, a couple of palmfuls
1 tablespoon coriander, a palmful
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Salt, if necessary
2 cups shredded or crumbled extra-sharp white Cheddar
1 small red onion, finely chopped

Steps:

  • Hot pickled vegetables, drained and chopped (recommended: Giardiniara), for serving
  • Put the chiles in a pot with the stock and bring to a boil over medium heat. Then lower heat to a simmer until softened, about 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat the oil, 1 turn of the pan, over medium-high heat in a large Dutch oven or soup pot. When the oil smokes, add the bacon and cook until crispy, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add the meat, raise the heat to high and brown for 8 minutes. Lower the heat a bit, add the onions and garlic and cook for 5 to 6 minutes to soften. Season the meat and onions with black pepper, to taste, (hold off on the salt until the chili is completed due to the addition of the bacon and the stock).
  • Add the anchos with the stock to a food processor and puree until smooth. Set aside.
  • Add the tomato paste to the meat mixture, stir 1 minute, then pour in the ancho stock. Stir in the tomatoes, spices, cocoa and cinnamon. Simmer for a few minutes, adjust the seasoning and add a touch of salt, if needed.
  • Serve the chili in shallow bowls topped with cheese, raw red onions, and spicy chopped vegetables.
