Black Beans in Red Velvet Mole

This red velvet mole - a Mexican sauce of onion, tomato, garlic, tons of spices, cocoa powder, raisins, crushed tortilla chips (!) and some other things - was the only recipe from the bean section of Appetite for Reduction that I hadn't made yet. It was worth the wait! I also roasted a plantain and stuffed it with a mixture of walnuts, brown sugar, and salt. Yummmmm. I've been wanting to make those for a long time and they were also worth the wait!

And then, you know, kale.
