MANCHA MANTELES - MEXICAN TABLECLOTH STAINER
Taken directly from "Mexican Cooking" by Carolyn Dehnel. This is a regular in our house served with Arroz Blanco although I usually use a whole can of tinned chopped tomatoes as its quicker and easier. Sometimes I will use pre-cooked rotisserie chicken from the supermarket and stock cubes. The plantain can be substituted with a firm banana cut into 2.5 cm slices but only add it in the last 5 mins otherwise it will disintegrate.

Steps:
- 1. Cut the chiles into about 4 pieces and toast in a medium skillet, over medium heat, pressing with a spatula until they are aromatic and change color, 10 to 15 seconds. Submerge them in a bowl of hot water and soak 20 to 25 minutes. 2. Meanwhile, in the same skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil. Add the plantain and cook, turning once, until golden brown, about 1 minute per side. Remove to a plate and reserve. In the same skillet, toast the almonds, stirring, until light brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a blender. Add the onion and garlic to the same skillet, and cook until the onion softens, about 3 minutes. 3. Add the tomatoes, oregano, cinnamon, and allspice. Cook until the tomatoes soften, 3 to 4 minutes. Put in the blender with the almonds. Add the soaked chiles and 1/4 cup of the chile water, or tap water. Blend very well until thick and smooth. Reserve. 4. In a large saucepan, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil over medium-high heat and cook the meat, turning, until no longer pink on the outside, 6 to 8 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add 1 1/2 cups of water. Bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer until tender, about 45 minutes. Add the sweet potato and reserved sauce. Cook until the potato is tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Add the pineapple and reserved plantain. Cook until hot and bubbling, 6 to 8 minutes. Serve hot.From "1,000 Mexican Recipes." Copyright 2001 by Marge Poore.

MANCHAMANTEL SAUCE
Found this on a website and it was contributed by Chuck Taggert. I'm not taking credit for this, but it was served over pork last night on something I was watching on Food Network and it looked so good, so I "googled" it this morning and this is what I found. I'm posting it before I lose it or forget how to spell it!! Literally, manchamantel means "tablecloth stainer". This sauce, with its red chile, is likely to stain a few palates along the way! It is a classic fruit-and-chile sauce from Central Mexico that goes wonderfully well with pork and shrimp dishes. Its natural sweetness, hotness, form and texture is akin to an old-style Cantonese sweet-and-sour sauce. While this recipe contains bananas and pineapple, other combinations of ripe fruit such as apples and peaches can also be used. IF YOU CANNOT GET CANELA, which is the form of cinnamon commonly used in Mexico, ordinary cinnamon can be substituted, but cut the amount in half.
