INSTRUCTIONS
Arrange chiles on a large baking sheet and bake in a 350 degree oven until
chiles smell toasted (about 10 minutes). Discared stems and seeds; grind
chiles to a powder in a blender (or substitute 1/4 cup ground chile powder
for roasted, ground chiles.)
To blender, add almonds, banana, cinammon, garlic, tortillas, sesame seeds,
pine nuts and 1 cup of the chicken broth. Whirl until pureed. (Sauce will
be grainy.)
Pour into a pan; add butter or margarine, chocolate, and remaining chicken
broth. Heat to a simmer, stirring. Season to taste with salt if necessary.
NOTES : Side Note: "mole" refers to a whole category of sauces; mole
polblano always includes its signature ingredient: chocolate. A green mole,
made with tomatillos, is also declicious with chicken.
