Suggest a better descriptionChocolate Mole, Courtesy of my wife, Sara. Cover all the chilies and soak for 30 minutes. Reserve 1/3 cup (3 fl oz/80 ml) of the soaking water. Stem and seed the chilies In a medium skillet, heat 1 tblspn of the lard over medium heat. Fry the chilies for 30 seconds on each side. Remove the chilies from the skillet and add the sesame seeds; stir until toasted lightly, about 1 minute. Remove the sesame seeds from the skillet and set aside. Add 1 tblspn of lard to the skillet and, when hot, add the tortilla strips; fry until soft, about 2 minutes. Place the chilies, sesame seeds, tortilla strips and reserved soaking water in a blender and puree to a paste; set aside. In a large skillet, heat the remaining 2 tblspns lard over med-high heat; saute the onions until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the tomatoes and cilantro and cook for 2 minutes. Add the bay leaf, cinnamon, pepper, salt, cloves, cumin, cayenne and oregano and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes, or until well blended.
