I don't know how authentic this is but it's good,
easy and interesting.


Chicken Mole

Mole Sauce:

1 14.5 oz. can diced tomatoes or equivalent fresh
1 4 oz. can chopped mild green chiles
1/2 cup whole blanched almonds
1/2 small onion cut in chunks
1 small garlic clove
1 Tb. chili powder
1 tsp. ground cumin
1 tsp. coriander
1 tsp. salt
3/4 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp. sugar

1 Tb. olive oil
3 lbs. bone-in chicken parts (dark meat is best in this dish)
skin removed
1/2 of a 1-oz. square unsweetened chocolate, chopped
2 Tb. chopped fresh cilantro

Blend mole sauce in a blender or food processor until smooth.
