Number Of Ingredients 20

2 cups with small white beans
4 skinless chicken leg with thighs attached, on the bone
1 (14 1/2-ounce) can reduced-sodium chicken broth
1 medium (about 6 ounces) white onion, cut into chunks
6 cloves garlic (large), peeled
1 carrot, scrubbed and cut into chunks
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
1/2 pound fresh tomatillos, husked, rinsed, and quartered
3 large jalapeño peppers (3 ounces), seeded, veins removed, and chopped
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
3/4 cup loosely packed flat-leaf parsley
3 sprigs , (6-inch) epazote, leaves only, or 1 teaspoon dried epazote
2 medium size hoja santa leaves, torn into pieces (or 1/2 cup loosely packed fresh cilantro sprigs)
2 tablespoons masa, harina, (flour for corn tortillas)
1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper, or to taste
1/2 teaspoon sugar, or more is sauce is too tart

Steps:

  • 1. Prepare the beans and reserve. Put the chicken into a large saucepan. Add the broth, 1 cup of water, half of the onion, half of the garlic, the carrot, and the crushed red pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer the chicken, covered, until tender, 30 to 35 minutes. Remove the chicken pieces to a bowl and cover to keep moist. Pour the cooked broth through a strainer into a bowl and reserve for the sauce. Discard the debris. 2. In a blender or food processor, blend the tomatillos, jalapeños, cumin, allspice, cloves, the remaining half of the onion, and the remaining garlic. Add 1 cup of the chicken broth, and blend until smooth. 3. In a large saucepan, heat the oil until it shimmers. Slowly pour in the tomatillo mixture (so it won't splatter), and cook, stirring frequently, 5 minutes. 4. In the same blender jar, blend the parsley, epazote, hoja santa, masa, salt, pepper, and sugar with 1/2 cup of the cooked chicken broth. Purée the mixture until smooth, and pour into the pan with the sauce. Cook over low heat, stirring frequently to prevent sticking, 20 minutes. Add the cooked chicken and the white beans. Simmer, partially covered, 10 to 15 minutes to heat through and blend flavors. Adjust seasoning. Serve hot.From "1,000 Mexican Recipes." Copyright 2001 by Marge Poore.

This recipe was a disaster. The mole never thickened and the chicken was overcooked. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I think it could have used more seasoning.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but it was still very good. I would recommend using less chili peppers if you don't like spicy food.
