Green with envy Molé
Roasting the Tomatillos and Poblano to bring out the sweetness, and toasting the corn tortillas for the thickening agent.
The dried Ancho is getting all toasty, and the oils are coming out of it.
In a hot pan, I am toasting the Sesame Seeds and Pine nuts to bring out the earthy flavor. mmmmm
Serranos, Jalapeños, Peanuts, Pumpkin Seeds, Pine Nuts, Sesame Seeds and Peanut Oil added to Charlie, (food processor)
Then the seasonings,... Cumin, Smoked Paprika, Cayenne, Onion Powder, Garlic Powder, White Pepper, Oregano, and Cinnamon.
Then push the button that says "ON".
Roasted Poblano, Ancho, and Tortillas all happy. I put the Poblano in a paper bag for a few minutes. It releases the skin easier...
Once the Poblano is skinned and seeded, and the Ancho is powdered, I started with 1/2 of one the toasted tortillas.
Meanwhile, One Whole Diced Onion and 8 chopped Garlic Cloves (I added more than previously pictured), go into a pan to be sweated. Just until the onions are translucent. whoa... that big word hurt my brain...
Dump that awesomness into Charlie and hit that "ON" button again...
EXACTLY one handful of fresh coursely chopped Cilantro, (the culinary kind, not that soapy tasting shit).
Yes, I will provide EXACT measurements in my entry post... lol
After all ingredients have been "Charlie'd"... Time to cook the sauce... I brought it to a boil, while stirring constantly for 15 minutes, turn the heat down and simmer for an hour, stirring occasionally. After letting it cool a little, I put 1/2 at a time back into Charlie, and turned it into a buttery-smooth-as-silk Molé...
After a few tastes, I added a dash of Garlic Salt, and Red Savina Powder. Now IT'S HOT!!! I really wish I had a fresh Yellow 7 for this. It is just begging for that heat and flavor, but alas... Hank's was fresh out
