Ingredients:

• 4 pounds fresh pork ribs
• 3 tablespoons sesame seeds
• 2 tablespoons diced yellow onion
• 1 whole dried Pasilla chile pepper with stem, veins and seeds removed
• 3 tablespoons chopped peanuts
• 1 teaspoon ground allspice
• 2 garlic cloves
• 1 (8.25- ounce) jar DOÑA MARIA® Original Mole Sauce
• 2 teaspoons chopped dark chocolate
• 2 1/2 cups chicken broth

• Salt and freshly ground pepper

Serves : 4-6

Directions:

1. Season pork ribs with salt and pepper and place meat side down in a large, high-sided sauté pan over medium heat. Cool ribs over medium heat to render fat, then continue cooking until golden. Turn ribs, remove from heat and set aside.
2. Spoon 2 tablespoons of pork fat from ribs into a separate saucepan and place over medium heat. Add sesame seeds, onion, Pasilla chile, peanuts, allspice and garlic and cook, stirring often, until onions and chiles are tender, about 5 minutes. Remove pan from heat and allow mixture to cool.
3. In a blender, combine cooled sauté mixture with 1 cup of water and blend until smooth.  Add DOÑA MARIA® Original Mole Sauce, chocolate, chicken broth and remaining water and blend until combined. Strain sauce through a fine sieve and discard solids.
4. Place pan on stove over medium heat and add prepared mole sauce. Bring to a simmer, reduce heat to low and cover pan. Simmer until ribs are cooked through and tender and sauce has thickened.
