JMI need a recipe for chicken mole without any chocolate.?
Found this recipe in my Flavors of Mexico cookbook by Angeles de la Rosa and C. Gandia de Fernandez. It is turkey in Mole sauce but you could use your chicken instead. And, it is a mole sauce without chocolate, and with tomatillos.





MOLE DE PAVO (Serves 10-12)





12 chiles anchos


3 chiles pasillas


3 chiles mulatos


2 T lard or oil


A pinch of salt


1 T white vinegar


1 (7 to 8 lb) turkey


3/4 c oil


Turkey neck and giblets


8 oz tomatillos, husked or 1 cup canned tomatillos, drained


1/4 c unblanched almonds


1/4 c golden raisins


2 T sesame seeds


2 T coriander seeds


2 corn tortillas


1/2 tsp each ground cloves, cinnamon and black pepper


Reserved turkey broth as needed


Salt to taste


1 bay leaf





The night before you plan to serve this dish, seed and devein the chilies, then heat the oil in a heavy skillet and fry the chilies just until soft. Drain and cover with hot water, add the salt and vinegar and soak overnight. (Rinse after 30 minutes and add fresh hot water, vinegar and salt if you want the sauce to be mild.) Next day, drain the chilies, reserving the soaking water, and blend them in a blender with just enough of their soaking water to make a coarse sauce; set aside.





Cut the turkey into serving pieces. In a large, heavy skillet, heat 6 T oil and brown the turkey well on all sides. Cover and cook over low heat until tender (adding water if necessary) about 45 minutes to 1 hour. While the turkey is cooking, place the turkey neck and the giblets in a saucepan with salted water to cover, bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, covered, for about 30 minutes to make a rich broth; set aside.





If you are using fresh tomatillos, place them in salted water to cover, bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until tender, about 10 minutes; drain and set aside. In a heavy skillet, heat 4 T of the oil and lightly fry each of the following ingredients separately, drain on absorbent paper and place in a blender jar; almonds, raisins, sesame seeds, coriander seeds, tortillas (broken into pieces) and tomatillos. Add the ground cloves, cinnamon and pepper to the blender jar and blend all the ingredients together. Add this mixture to the pureed chilies, mixing in just enough reserved broth from the neck and giblets to make a smooth sauce. In the same skillet used to fry the preceding ingredients, heat the remaining 2 T oil and fry the sauce 5 minutes over medium heat, stirring constantly. Season with salt to taste. When the turkey is tender, add the turkey and the bay leaf to the sauce and simmer 15 to 20 minutes. Remove the bay leaf before serving.





Hope that helps.
