hay here is my recipe for chicken Mole and I am going to try to do two things at once ...share the recipe and ask if it is ok for the nut rung?
Chicken Mole
6 peeled seeded diced tomatoes
1 green bell pepper, chopped fine
1/4 cup ground red chile
1/2 small can chipoltles
2 teaspoons cumin
1 green chili pepper roasted chopped and seeded
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 onion, chopped fine
3 tablespoons cocoa
1 tble finely ground pumpkin seeds (I may or may not add these depending on the cocoa powder counting as a nut addition?)
1/2 cup chicken or veg broth
in a sauce pan pour some unflavored veg oil then saute' the tomatoes peppers onions garlic and spices lightly until you cook off some of the water and it is almost like a sofrito
then you add the pumpkin seeds cocoa powder and stock...bring to a boils stirring all the time so it does not stick then turn WAY down and stir frequently at a simmer for about 10 min or so....taste for salt
I serve this by the tablespoon or so over grilled chicken breasts but you can take and cook dark meat chicken, pork or beef and cook it down in very little water shred it and simmer for a while in the sauce ...if you like a sweet edge then add some splenda...like a tsp I believe?

I have a funny for you though in regards to mole. One of the guys at work just started to learn to cook.. I bought him a slow cooker cookbook and he bought a slow cooker and he graduated to using pots and pans. :yes Anyway he asked me one day at work how do you cook a mole.. as in the little mammal. I was kind of baffled, how WOULD you cook a mole? Anyway, he bought me the recipe he wanted to make.. it was mole.. but not the mammal! :laughing I had to tell him how to say it the right way. :yes
