Santa Fe Treasures

No photos from the first round but I'll try to get some later today.

Last night I made chicken mole from the mole spice I brought back from Santa Fe. It is New Mexico mole and is red, not dark. The man at the shop said to add cocoa to make it "darker", so I did, a lot in fact. It was still red mole. But it was pretty tasty. I think before I use the other half of the packet I will find some dark chocolate to add and put it through the blender.


Today I am going to make a version of green chili stew. Most NM recipes called for cut up pork, but we had a bowl at Cafe Grecco that was basically the ground beef stew I usually make with a green sauce. It was totally delicious. I brought back some  hatch green chili powder and am going to add a can of diced green chilis to it. Photos to follow!
