Just what the doctor ordered (really, DH is trying to control his diabetes with diet, so this is perfect).

It took me 1 hour 15 minutes for prep, but I wanted to take my time and do it right.

I first made the two sauces, then the pepper filling, then softened the peppers. While the peppers were softening, I chopped ingredients for the calabacitas.

My only changes:
-cut the recipe in half, as there are only two of us.
-used canned tomatoes instead of fresh, as tomatoes are kind of gross here right now. I just bought the diced tomatoes with green chiles in them (and compensated for the fewer chiles by sprinkling in powdered jalepeno).
-used pecans instead of walnuts
-used 1/2 the amount of cocoa powder than called for
-chopped the raisins finely and the almonds a bit

So yes, I did the mole, just cut the cocoa a bit.

I wish my sauces would've been thinner like the original pics. Next time I'll add more milk to the nut sauce will mix the mole into the meat stuffing to help bind it. Otherwise it was perfect for us!

We'll be making this again. Would be great for a summer dinner, maybe grilling the stuffed peppers under really low heat.

-it kind of looks like my pepper pooped.
