  • On a griddle, toast pasilla chile, mulato chile, almonds, pecans, raisins, hazelnuts, sesame seeds, pine nuts, peanuts, pumpkin seed, allspice, and cinnamon. Remove and set aside.
  • In a skillet over medium heat, heat oil. Fry plantains until brown. Set aside.
  • In the same skillet, fry onion and garlic. Set aside.
  • Transfer chiles, spices, plantain, and onion to a blender. Add chicken broth. Blend until smooth.
