This serves up more like a bowl of chili but the flavors are totally different. The spice of the chilis combined with the richness of the chiken legs and chocolate make this a truly unique taste treat.
Make Chili Puree: Heat a small heavy skillet over moderate heat until hot. Toast chilies one at a time pressing down with tongs a few seconds on each side to make more pliable. Seed and devein chilies. In a blender puree chilies with 1/4 cup cashews and broth until smooth.
Prepare Dish: Remove skin and excess fat from chicken, cut drumstick from thigh. In a large heavy saucepan heat oil and saute onion and garlic until softened. Add cumin, Chili powder and salt and cook, stirring, one minute. Add chicken and stir to coat with spice mixture. Stir in chili puree, tomatoes with juice and 2 tablespoons cilantro and simmer covered, stirring occasionally, for 45 minutes. Remove chicken from bone and shred meat with two forks. Return chicken to pan and add remaining cashews and cilantro. Add beans and chocolate and cook until heated through and chocolate has melted.
