Quick Pork Mole Stew Recipes

SLOW-COOKER MOLE PORK

Steps:

• Tear the tortillas into small pieces; toss with the chiles, sesame seeds, raisins, onion, garlic and five-spice powder in a bowl. Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the tortilla mixture; cook, stirring, until the sesame seeds are toasted and the onion is slightly charred, about 5 minutes.
• Add the tomatoes and cook, stirring and scraping up any browned bits, until the liquid evaporates and the tomatoes start browning, about 6 minutes. Add the cilantro and 1 1/2 cups water; bring to a boil, scraping up the skillet. Working in batches, transfer to a blender and puree until smooth, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a 6-quart slow cooker.
• Season the pork all over with salt and pepper; add to the slow cooker. Cover and cook on low, 8 hours.
• Before serving, pierce the sweet potatoes several times with a fork: microwave until tender, about 8 minutes. Remove the pork from the slow cooker and slice. Top with the sauce and more sesame seeds and cilantro. Serve with the sweet potatoes and tortillas.

EASY PORK AND MUSHROOM STEW RECIPE

Steps:

• Sauté the onions. Coat the bottom of a large sauté pan (12 inch, at least) with olive oil and place it over medium-high heat. Add the onions and garlic to the pan. Cook, stirring from time to time, until the onions are soft and slightly golden, about 7 minutes.
• Sauté the mushrooms and deglaze. Add a bit more oil, to be sure the bottom of the pan is well coated, turn the heat to high and add about half of the mushrooms. Once they begin to brown, add the other half, and continue to sauté until they're all golden and tender, about 10 minutes total. Now deglaze the pan by drizzling the sherry over the mushrooms and quickly stirring with a flat-edged spatula, scraping anything that's stuck to the bottom off and back into the mixture. Stir in the tarragon and thyme.
• Add the pork and cook. Season the pieces of pork with salt and pepper and add them to the pan. Mix and add the stock. Once the pieces are cooked through - about 5 minutes - add the peas.
• Season and serve. Season generously with salt and pepper to taste. (Here's How to Season to Taste.) Serve over rice, pasta or a toasted baguette.

• Add in the onion, garlic, sage and crushed pepper flakes; saute for about 8 minutes.
• Return the pork to the pot and any juices from the plate.
• Add in remaining ingredients (along with any other ingredients such as potatoes, carrots or any other veggies) mix to combine and season with salt and pepper.

BEEF MOLE

Steps:

• Place the beef in a large saucepan and fill with water to about 2 inches from the top of the pan. Bring to a boil, cover, and reduce heat to medium. Cook for 2 hours. Drain and set aside. Remove the stems and seeds from the jalapenos and cut into quarters. Remove the skin from the onion and cut into quarters. Remove the skin from the garlic cloves. Remove the skin from the tomatoes and cut into quarters. Place these ingredients in a blender or food processor and blend on medium until all the ingredients are pureed. They should look as though they are chopped into very small pieces, but not blended into a paste. Heat the oil on medium-high setting in a large frying pan. Add the puree and cook, stirring constantly for 5 minutes. Peel the potatoes and cut into l-inch cubes. Place in a medium-sized saucepan, cover with water, and boil until tender. Drain and set aside. Cut the zucchini into 1-inch cubes. Combine all of the ingredients in a frying pan, stirring gently on medium setting for 10 minutes.
