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.

Yah, I was a little worried about using it at first, especially since my pots are non-stick. But there's a guard to keep the blade from hitting the pan / bowl / whatever.

The one real trick is remembering it's an immersion blender. You have to keep it all the way under the surface; you don't EVER want to lift it while it's running (unless you like wearing your comestibles...)
