Once vegetables are roasted allow to cool for 5 minutes. While vegetables are cooking, place chilies in a mixing bowl. Cover with boiling water and allow to steep for 10 mintues. Once vegetables have cooled place vegetables in a food processor or blender along with chilies which have been de-stemed. Blend until smooth. Transfer mixture to a saucepan. Add spices and stock.

    I made this with the Cocoa Crusted Pork and it was AMAZING! I served it with black beans and quinoa with avocado, light sour cream and pico de gallo. - 1/14/12

    What is a serving size? 1T? 1/4 cup? Number of servings are much less useful than serving size as most of us don't immediately divide up a recipe into 10 cups to figure out the serving size.... - 1/10/12

    This sounds great for the tenderloin . In answer to the squeze of ime and the lime zest. Zest lime first. Then cut lime in half and squeeze the juice out of each half, using your hand or a hand-held juicer. I would add the zest along with the juice to the Mole'. - 1/26/10

    I made this to go with Chef Meg's Cocoa Crusted Pork Loin and it was wonderful! I ddn't have any banana peppers so used seeded jalapenos instead and it was just the right amount of heat for us. I have lots of sauce left so I'll be trying with other things this week. - 5/24/10

    I wasn't a big fan of the sauce, but it was the first time I'd ever even HAD mole sauce. So I just may not like it regardless? Haha (I made it to go with the cocoa crusted pork loin). - 6/30/11
