I got this one from a friend who called his mom in Oaxaca for her secret recipe. It calls for over twenty ingredients, three types of chiles, chocolate, bread, sesame seeds, to name a few.

I made home-made tortillas too. I don't have a tortilla press or a comal (a flat griddle specific for cooking them)- I just use two pieces of wax paper and a flat-bottomed saucepan to squash them out and a normal fry pan to cook them.

LUNCH. The mole turned out alright. I have certainly eaten worse moles. It was earthy, deep, with a subtle chocolaty flavor and a nice balance of sweet and salty. I think the recipe could be tweaked a bit though-Sorry Raphael's Mom.

Kitty in a box!
