We had a cooking class with teenagers from The Key, a youth-run community-based organization. |

The common ingredient was Mexican chocolate — which we prepared as Champurrado, a hot drink, slightly thickened with corn masa. Here is the Champurrado recipe. |

and a luscious chile sauce called Red Mole. In the picture, it is served with roast turkey. Here is the Red Mole recipe. |
 |
Traditionally, the meat is slowly cooked (braised) in the mole for about 1 1/2 hours. But to fit into our 2-hour class schedule, we roasted free-range chickens instead. Here is the Roast Chicken recipe. |

Unfortunately, we ran out of time to prepare a Hot Fudge Pudding Cake, a fun dessert with a brownie-like layer that floats on a pudding-like chocolate sauce. Here is the Hot Fudge Pudding Cake recipe. |

Ham Braised in Wine
This weekend, we are taking a break from the cooking demo to participate in a 24-hour scavenger hunt called Tricadecathlonomania.
In honor of the holiday weekend, we want to share this wonderful ham recipe from Julia Child. The recipe transforms the standard baked ham into la grande classe.
Here is the recipe.
