Red mole is not as complex as black mole with its chocolate and blend of chilies, but oregano and thyme give this a wonderful herby flavor. The plantains add a sweetness. Ripe plantains are not yellow. Look for ones with lots of black splotches across the skin. This recipe is adapted from Goat by Bruce Weinstein and Mark Scarbrough (Stewart Tabori & Chang 2011). If you make this a day ahead, it's even more tender and flavorful the next day.
Tear the chilies into large pieces, then cook in a dry skillet over medium heat until lightly browned and aromatic. Transfer to a large bowl, cover with boiling water and set aside for 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, melt 2 tablespoons of the bacon fat in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring often, until wilted, about 3 minutes.
Push the onion and garlic to the sides of the pot, then add the meat chunks in batches, browning them well in the residual fat. As they brown, transfer them to a plate.
Take the pot off the heat. Scoop out the onion and garlic and place in a blender or food processor fitted with the chopping blade. Drain chilies and add to blender or food processor. Add Worcestershire sauce, thyme, oregano, cloves, pepper and bay leaf. Puree until smooth.
Melt remaining 2 tablespoons bacon fat in the pot over medium heat. Scrape the chili paste into the fat and fry for 3 minutes,
