-Rinse, remove stems and seeds from chiles
-Broil cleaned chiles, onion, tomatoes, tomatillos, garlic still in husks and corn tortillas until charred and toasted
-Remove chiles from broiler before they start to char too much
-Place toasted chiles in a bowl, cover with boiling hot water and steep for at least 30 minutes or until softened
-Remove everything from broiler once charred
-In a blender, puree softened chiles, charred tomatoes, onions, garlic, tomatillos, prunes, oregano and optional chipotle chile
-add chicken broth to help puree if necessary
-Sieve puree with more chicken broth if needed
-In a preheated pot add 3 Tbsp oil and add sieved chile puree mixture
-Bring to a gentle simmer and add chocolate, Sunbutter, ground cinnamon, ground clove, salt to taste, sugar to taste and more chicken broth as needed.
-I ultimately use between 6 to 7 cups of chicken broth in this recipe
-Once the mole sauce is mixed well and at a gentle simmer, cover with a lid, lower the heat and continue to simmer for at least 30 minutes while stirring every 15 minutes
-You can serve this on top of baked or boiled chicken with a delicious rice on the side. Serves at least 6 to 8. Enjoy!
