Ingredients

Mole
cup slivered raw almonds
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 small Spanish onion, coarsely chopped
3 cloves garlic, coarsely chopped
1 cup pureed plum tomatoes
3 cups chicken stock, plus more if needed
Scant cup pureed chipotle in adobo
2 tablespoons ancho chile powder
1 tablespoon New Mexico chile powder
teaspoon ground chile de arbol
cup chopped fresh mango
cup golden raisins
cup crushed blue corn tortilla chips
1 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoons pure maple syrup
3 tablespoons molasses
teaspoon ground cinnamon
teaspoon ground cloves
teaspoon ground allspice
1 ounce semisweet or bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
Salt and freshly ground black pepper


1. Put the almonds in a medium saucepan over medium heat and cook until lightly golden brown, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes. Remove the almonds to a plate. Increase the heat to high, add the oil to the saucepan and heat until it begins to shimmer. Add the onions and cook until soft, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Stir in the tomatoes, chicken stock, chipotle and chile powders, bring to a boil and cook for 10 minutes.
2. Add the mango, raisins, tortillas and almonds and cook, stirring occasionally, until mangoes are soft and mixture is reduced by half, about 30 minutes.
2. Carefully transfer the mixture to a blender and blend until smooth. Return the mixture to the pan over high heat, add the honey, maple syrup, molasses, cinnamon, clove, allspice and chocolate and cook until reduced to a sauce consistency, about 10 minutes; season with salt and pepper.
