But lately I´ve been so ill that I can´t really be bothered to keep a completely separate diet from the rest of the house. Luckily my family are all keen followers of organic produce, so the chicken was a big "KRAV" (organic) labled bugger, and this household rather have organic chicken once per month than mass produced broilers twice a week.
So it was chicken with mole then. Mole is normally in Mexico like a sauce you buy in a jar with all the spice mixes to add to your dish, but since we are far from any Mexican grocery shop I madey own makeshift mole.

Chicken with Mole
about 4 small fillets of chicken, or bits from all over
1 onion
3-4 cloves of garlic
500 ml of tinned tomatoes
1 cinnamon quill
1-2 chopped red chillies (more if u have the guts)
2 tsp paprika
2 tsp of ground coriander seeds
salt and some stock granules
40-50 g of good dark chocolate (70%)
Cut the chicken in bite size pieces and chopp the onion. Brown in a pan in some butter and oil. Add the garlic and the tomatoes. Stir in the spices and let it simmer about 20 mins. Taste and adjust seasoning. Stir in the chocolate. Serve with tortillas and a sallad.
Tortillas
2.5 dl spelt or wheat flour
0,5 dl natural yoghurt
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp salt
0,5 tsp baking powder
(tomato purée or mixed herbs)
Mix everything together and work the dough untill its elastic. Leave a few minutes. Divide into 4-6 pieces and flatten them out with a rolling pin till they are as thin as u can get them. Fry in a hot, dry frying pan about 2 minutes on each side, or untill they begin to get a bit of a colour. Serve immediately.
Well it certainly didn´t look very good, but it tasted at least half-Mexican. Bastante bien, estoy contento
