Steps:
- In a large dry skillet over medium heat, toast ancho, guajillo, and cascabel chiles in batches until fragrant but not burned, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl, add 6 cups hot water, and let soak for 1 hour.
- In the same dry skillet, toast sesame seeds, shaking pan constantly, until golden brown and fragrant, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl. Repeat process with peanuts, almonds, and pecans. Add raisins to skillet, and cook for about 30 seconds. Add to bowl with nut mixture.
- Raise heat under the skillet to medium-high, and add onions and garlic. Cook until slightly charred; add to bowl with the nuts.
- In a medium skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add plantains, and cook until golden; add to bowl with nut mixture.
- Place tortilla directly over a medium flame, turning it until blackened. Add to bowl with nut mixture.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add tomatoes, and cook for 3 minutes; use a slotted spoon to transfer to bowl with the nut mixture. Add tomatillos to boiling water, and cook for 3 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer to bowl with nut mixture.
- In a large stockpot, cook cinnamon stick, peppercorns, and cloves over medium heat until fragrant, 10 to 20 seconds. Add the soaked chiles with their liquid, the nut mixture, the bread, thyme, and oregano. Remove from heat.
- Use an immersion blender to puree (or puree in batches in a blender). Strain through a medium sieve into a second stockpot. Cook over low heat, stirring occasionally and taking care not to burn, for 2 hours. Add chocolate, stirring, until completely melted. If using for tamales, thin with chicken stock to a pouring consistency.

Steps:
- Place chicken, garlic, and peppercorns in a medium stockpot. Add enough water to cover by 2 inches. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer until cooked through, 35 to 45 minutes. Strain through a fine mesh sieve, reserving liquid. Let chicken stand until cool enough to handle. Remove meat, and shred into bite-size pieces; set aside. Discard skin and bones.
- If banana leaves are thick and not supple, they need to be steamed: Pour a couple of inches of water in a large pot, and bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Roll banana leaves loosely, and arrange in a steamer basket. Place basket over water, cover, and steam leaves until pliable, about 30 minutes.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine masa, 1/2 cup reserved chicken-cooking liquid (freeze remaining liquid for another use), salt, and shortening, and beat on medium until light and fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes; set aside
- Place a 12-inch piece of banana leaf on a flat work surface (if leaves are smaller, you can use a few to create one larger surface). Spread a very thin layer of the masa mixture (about 1/4 inch thick) over the banana leaf, leaving a 1-inch border. Place 1/2 cup of shredded chicken in center of the masa. Pour 1/4 cup mole over chicken. Fold edges up and over to enclose filling and form a packet. Repeat with remaining leaves, masa, chicken, and mole (reserve 1 1/2 cups mole for serving).
- Bring a pot of water to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Arrange masa packets in steamer. Place over water, cover, and steam for 1 hour.
- To serve, use a serrated knife to cut a cross in the center of the package. Pull back corners, exposing tamale. Drizzle with remaining mole, and sprinkle with sesame seeds.

Moles (pronounced moh'-lay) in Mexico vary from the thick, nearly black mole negro to the fresh, bright green, herb-infused mole verde. Try this highly flavored sauce with chicken. This recipe is from Soledad Lopez, posted in response to a recipe request.

- Wipe off any dusty crevasses on the dried chiles. De-stem and de-seed the chiles, but don't worry about getting rid of every last seed.
- Roast the chile pieces for 1-2 minutes in a 400F oven. Alternatively, you can flash roast them in a skillet on the stovetop for 15-30 seconds per side. Once roasted, add them to a bowl and cover with hot tap water. Let the chiles reconstitute for 20-30 minutes. If they float to the surface you can use a small bowl or plate to keep them submerged.
- Roughly chop an onion and peel 8 garlic cloves. Add a glug of oil to a skillet over medium heat and saute the onions and whole garlic cloves until lightly browned. Once cooked, add the onion-garlic mixture to the blender.
