Pork and Black Bean Chili Mole
"Think I might have nabbed this from the newspaper. Generally speaking, moles are made with turkey or chicken, but this was quite the tasty surprise that doesn't take at all long to make. Recipe doesn't call for it, but I think a squirt of lime might brighten it up a tad And would be lovely as filling for a taco!"

I only came to cooking in my 50s, when we moved home to a tiny town with only a few restaurants. I'm always on the hunt for easy, flavorful recipes (often ethnic cuisines), and I'm always ready to try something new and different! In cold weather I gravitate to stews, soups, and casseroles of the not-too-heavy kind; in hot weather I love a salad or cold soup. Partly because of my husband's diabetes (I'm borderline) and partly out of indolence, baking is not my thing.
