Shrimp with Mole Poblano
Photo: Randy Mayor; Styling: Melanie J. Clarke
This recipe offers a creative savory use of Andrew Weil's "perfect" food: dark chocolate. The chocolate adds richness to the mole, a traditional Mexican sauce. Prepare the sauce a day ahead, and refrigerate so the flavors have time to develop. Store the mole poblano, covered, in the refrigerator for up to three days, or freeze for up to two months.
Yield: 6 servings (serving size: 1 skewer and 1/3 cup mole poblano)
