Toast and reconstitute chiles. Toast sesame seeds, chile seeds and almonds
until dark brown. Grind (or use equivalent pre-ground) the cloves,
peppercorns, cinnamon and oregano. Fry onion and garlic in a bit of oil.
Combine all above ingredients in a blender or food processor with tomatoes
and Ibarra mexican chocolate and puree thoroughly. Then fry the mole until
the sauce changes color to a dark, brick red. The sauce will keep for a
month in the fridge, and indefinitely frozen.
This kind of mole would traditionally be used over meat or chicken,
garnished with a few extra toasted seeds, and eaten wrapped in tortillas
with a serrano/onion/cilantro salsa cruda. It was also delicious over
spinach and wild mushrooms, served similarly.
