Mole

Mole (moe-LAY)

Combine in large crockpot:

1 pork roast (5 or 6 pounds)

2 cups diced tomatoes

some green pepper, chopped

2 T chili powder

cayenne pepper, several dashes

3 T cocoa powder

2 tsp cumin

1 chili pepper, crushed

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 onion, chopped

1 T sugar

1/2 cup water

another pepper of choice, such as chipotle

.

Cook on high until meat is falling apart.

Remove bone (if applicable).

Serve on tortillas.

.

A roast this size makes a LOT of mole, so I usually freeze half of it for later. I start with a frozen roast, so I cook it on high the entire day BEFORE we will eat it. Then I reheat the meat in saucepan with a small amount of water.
