Turkey Mole!
Brains have been stormed, groceries have been purchased.
The Menu:
If you've never had turkey mole, you're missing out. I had it for the first time when Bravo Burrito first opened on Hennepin, and I've loved it ever since. Mole is a dark brown, Mexican, chocolate, sesame, hot sauce (don't worry RS, it's not too hot :). Throw in some dark meat turkey (we still have those massive thighs from Everett's), throw it over some rice, top with cheese, and yum, yum, yum! Of course we can also roll it up into a burrito as well. (I know we've sort of had burritos before, but those were Texas Chili Burritos, this is different.)
This week's meal was peculiar in a few aspects. Outside of the cake and pico, there really wasn't anything made from scratch, just a lot of prep. Pressure cooking the turkey was fun though. There was so much [four thighs and a breast] that it had to be done in two batches. I didn't want to make a third batch so the raw breast had to be butchered off of the carcass before it was cooked. I think it was the first time I had to do that, and it was interesting. BY and Robin looked at me a bit oddly as the knife was flying.
Having had and made the mole any number of times, there really weren't any surprises. For me, the real highlight of the meal was the chocolate fire cake. (Thanks to a recipe from a co-worker.) The best description was "it tastes like chocolate red hots." Not typically being a big fan of all things chocolate, it was a nice surprise.
We were expecting up to nineteen people this week, partly due to introducing this web log. At that number, the apartment gets a bit crowded, and it's impossible for everyone to sit at the table together. However only eleven actually showed, so we switched our buffet plans to sit down. The cooking/prep had been done over most of the day, so all of the cooking dishes were already clean, and there wasn't as much of a frenetic last minute push to get everything done.
The last thing I want to say, or ask, is that people should try to get there a little earlier. We try to plan to eat at seven, and if everyone walks in the door between 6:45 and 7:00 (like this week :), we have no idea how many are actually going to be there. Also, we spend most of the afternoon, and sometimes day, cooking and prepping. The camaraderie of preparing the meal (or of watching movies, playing video games, etc.) is as much a part of the experience as eating. We understand that people have other lives on Sundays, and we'd always rather people come at any time rather than skip because they're afraid they're "late".
The Menu:
- Turkey mole over rice with shredded cheese
- Build your own tostados with refried beans, lettuce, onion, and homemade pico
- Pinto beans
- Fried plantains
- Chips and cheese
- Chocolate fire cake

Beans are a must. Toss some veggies in the mix by putting a nice pico de gallo on tostadas. It's light to counter the mole and adds a bit of freshness.

Considering where you are, I think we have to trust you on this one. Wish you could be here with us.
As for dessert, Derek says Chocolate Fire cake (imagine chocolate cake with a bit of hot in it). But Carlos says flavored flan (like kahlua). Any votes or other ideas?
how about so type of pastry with a light custard filling. We could even just get some phyllo dough and heat it up.
