Prepare Mole sauce: Line a broiling pan with aluminum foil and broil
tomatoes under a preheated broiler for 2-3 mins per side until nicely
browned. Chop tomatoes and set aside. Preheat a dry heavy skillet over
medium heat until it is hot and toast pasilla chilies, stirring
constantly for 1 or 2 mins or until they are fragrant. Do not let
chiles burn. Transfer chiles to a work surface and set aside to cool.
Wearing rubber gloves, discard stems,seeds and ribs from the chiles
and tear them into small pieces. Place chiles in a bowl, cover with 4
cups of hot water and set aside for 30 minutes. In a large heavy
skillet, heat the peanut oil over moderate heat unti it is hot and
saute bay leaf, onions, garlic red pepper, reserved roasted tomatoes,
and chili powder, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon for about 5
mins or until vegetables are soft. Add reserved chilies and liquid to
the pan. Add rice vinegar, orange zest and juice, oregano, salt,
chocolate, and black pepper to pan and simmer mixture 20 minutes or
until chiles are soft. Cool. In a blender or food processor, blend
sauce until smooth. If necessary, add water or chicken stock to
achieve the consistency of a smooth puree. Season to taste. Makes
about 1 1/2 cups sauce. Source: House Beautiful 6/94 Posted to
