50 Recipes, #10: Mole skillet pie with greens

[nonelvis]

This is a recipe from Veganomicon that violetisblue has mentioned several times, so I finally decided to make it. I loved it, but I'll eat anything with black beans. The mole sauce is the real winner here – as columbina said, it passes the crucial mole test, which is that he would eat it on cardboard. We have at least a couple of cups left, so I've frozen them for now and will probably put them on enchiladas (not cardboard) at some future date.

In making this recipe, I discovered the maximum amount of liquid our swanky new blender can hold before shooting puréed food in all directions: slightly less than one recipe of mole sauce. Whoops.

I use immersion blender at school rather frequently. Of course, it's not for food per se, but you probably already knew that. Cleaning it is a little nervewracking even when unplugged. I love hearing the target liquid let out a little oh shit when I start revving it up. Makes my day.

I was able to use one of those giant suckers for about a minute once. The vibrations were absolute murder on my hands.
