List of ingredients for Chocolate chilli chicken


* 4 chicken legs, skin removed
* 1 onion, peeled and halved
* Salt and freshly ground black pepper
'''for the mole poblano'''

* 2 chipotle chillies, (deseeded if you don't want it too hot)

* ½ a large onion, chopped
* ½ teaspoon black peppercorns
* 2 clove buds
* ¼ teaspoon dried oregano or marjoram
* A very small piece of cinnamon stick
* ½ teaspoon of fennel seeds

* 1 teaspoon of coriander seeds
* 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
* 2 tablespoons ground almonds
* 2 tablespoons raisins
* 2 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed
* ¼ cup breadcrumbs
* 2 tortillas, torn into small pieces
* 5 tomatillos or tomatoes such as sungold
* 25 g (1 oz) Green & Blacks Organic Chocolate, unsweetened (I added a bit more at the end - taste and see first!)
* 1.5 cups chicken stock
'''To garnish'''

* 1 tablespoon sesame seeds, lightly toasted
* 1 orange, quartered


===Method===
'''Mole poblano'''
* Don't be too fussy with the chopping as it's all going in the blender in the end.
* Blitz all of the dry spices except for the sesame seeds to a powder in a coffee grinder or blender spice attachment
* Add the remaining ingredients to the blender and blitz to a smooth sauce
* Tip the dried spice mix into the sauce and give it a final blitz.
* Pour the sauce into a pan, bring to a simmer and continue to simmer for 30 minutes stirring now and again
'''Cooking the chicken legs'''
* Place the chicken legs in a pan with the onion halves and cover with boiling water, seasoning with salt and pepper
* Return to the boil, then cover and simmer for 25 minutes
'''Combining the two'''
* Remove the chicken legs and drain
* Add the chicken to the mole (sauce) and heat for a further 10 minutes
* Meanwhile, toast 1 tablespoon of sesame seeds in a small pan
* Transfer the mole poblano and chicken to a serving dish and sprinkle with the toasted sesame seeds
* Enjoy Mexico's national dish!
