Chicken Mole my wife made using sun-dried Hatch Chiles. This mole came out a little brighter and sweeter than usual. The mole is usually darker and has a little bit more of a smokey profile using the regular store bought peppers. This is probably due to the different drying methods of the peppers. Her mole comes out great using either one.

Decided to try my hand at Nixtamalization using ashes to make corn tortillas. You can see the transformation of the corn from start to finish in the pics below. If you haven’t heard of Nixtamalization, it’s an ancient technique for preparing maiz.
