Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 1 dried pasilla chile, seeded and chopped (reserve the seeds); 2 chipotles in adobo, seeded and chopped; 1 cup cooked black beans; 1 ounce dark chocolate, coarsely chopped; 1/3 cup almonds, toasted; 1 teaspoon kosher salt; 2 cups chicken stock; 2 tablespoons olive oil; 1 clove garlic, peeled and crushed; 2 shallots, peeled and coarsely chopped (about 1/3 cup)

Servings: persons

1 dried pasilla chile, seeded and chopped (reserve the seeds)
2 chipotles in adobo, seeded and chopped
1 cup cooked black beans
1 ounce dark chocolate, coarsely chopped
1/3 cup almonds, toasted
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 cups chicken stock
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 clove garlic, peeled and crushed
2 shallots, peeled and coarsely chopped (about 1/3 cup)

1
Rehydrate the pasilla chile by pouring broiling water over it, and allowing it to soak for half an hour.
2
When you're ready to make the sauce, pull the chile open and seed it. Chop coarsely and put in a blender or food processor with the chipotles, black beans, chocolate, almonds and salt. Blend, adding the stock slowly, allowing the blades to do their work as the sauce things out.
3
Heat the olive oil in a saute pan, and gently saute the garlic and shallots over low heat. Once they're soft, add them to the blended chocolate-chile mix, and blend again.
4
Transfer the sauce to a saucepan, and simmer for 10 minutes. Keep an eye on it to avoid scalding because the chocolate and nuts are delicate.
5
The sauce should have a subtle but definite heat and enough salt to bring out the diverse flavors. If the sauce needs to be spicier, add some of the reserved chile seeds or add a low-acid hot sauce such as Marie Sharp's.
