Chocolate Chipotle
(or Chocolat Chipotle Chili con Pavo y
Molé)
(or Tchoxatl Tchopotle Chili con Hueyxolotl y Molli)
The Prelude
List of Ingredients:
Hindquarters of 2 turkeys
Slow cooked on the barby
nice and smoky then boil it in 2 bottles of vino and 1 ˝ gallons water. Skin and bones discarded, meat chopped
and saved, broth saved.
OR
Brown 4-5 pounds ground turkey
3 oz dried ancho/pasilla
chiles (6-8 chiles)
3 oz dried New Mexican chiles
(6-8 chiles)
The chiles should be
fresh and pliable, not dry and hard
Baked in 350 degree oven for 6 minutes
Remove stem and seeds and pulverize in blender
OR
Use 5 oz chili powder
In large skillet cook 1 ˝ pounds yellow onion
at low heat 8-10 minutes, low sizzle.
Toast and grind:
2 Tbl whole coriander
2 Tbl
whole cumin
Add to chili powder
Add powder and spices to onion
Raise heat to medium high
Stir constantly 2-3 minute to uniformly heat
spice
The Pot
In your large pot, heat the 1 ˝ to 2 gallons
broth to low boil.
Add:
1. The onions and heated chile mixture
2. 1 Tbl
oregano (dry crumb)
3. The turkey meat
4. 32 oz canned tomato
5. 2 lbs Hershey
unsweetened baker’s chocolate (the closest thing I find at the market to “just
chocolate”)
6. ˝ cup Masa (the thickener, buy a bag, you want this to make fresh
homemade tortillas for the chili, it’s fun and easy!)
7. 2 tsps
powdered Chipotle (make it yourself or order it from Kevin’s Jellybean Store,
SASE with $1 to Kevin/Chipotle, 3230 Highland Dr, Zillah, WA 98953)
8. Salt to taste (2 tsp)
9. Optional: add ˝ jar (8
oz) of commercial molé sauce
Yield is about 3 gallons! Simmer a few hours
then for best results, serve the day after assembly
with freshly made tortillas and a pot of beans.
It freezes fine. You may want to add more masa to get the thickness back. It’s best to simmer 4-5
hours after thawing. Hey, this is where crock pots shine!
The Tortillas
It really is pretty simple – made by peasants
with stone-age tools and open fires for millennia.
Really easy with a bag
o’ masa and a 400 degree pancake grill.
Add water to the mix per directions.
Roll a ball into a flat.
90 seconds on each side
Boom – a tortilla!
Total time when ya get it down about 6 minutes for the first tortilla then ya crank out one every 60 seconds.
Fun to do at a casual
party.
The Wine
Now, if you take all the time to make this,
don’t screw it up by having “a nice Merlot.” LEMBERGER ! ! ! THAT’S THE WINE!
We, of course, created this recipe
specifically for our Paradisos Red.
