Method:
-
Begin with the black bean mole.
-
Heat the oil in a frying pan at medium to high heat, add onions and garlic and fry stirring frequently until softened.
-
Add the spices and stir, then add the black beans with the grated chocolate, vegetable stock and tomatoes.
-
Cook, stirring frequently for about 10-15 minutes to reduce it to a thick sauce.
-
Preheat the oven to 120°C.
-
Cut off the stem of the kale if it is thick and woody (this can vary from one sort to another, and depending on maturity, but as a rule it should be removed).
-
Put the kale leaves and garlic on a baking tray and drizzle oil over them.
-
Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
-
Roast in the middle of the oven for 20 minutes.
-
Take the roasted leaves out of the oven and transfer to a wire rack with baking parchment underneath to catch any excess oil.
-
Peel the oyster mushrooms into ½ cm strips.
-
Put a frying pan on high heat and add some oil.
-
When it starts to smoke add the mushrooms.
-
Fry them for 10-15 minutes until they are crisp and golden.
-
Put aside and clean out the frying pan.
-
Put the frying pan back on high heat and fry the tortillas on each side for a couple of minutes to get colour and soften
-
Spread one tablespoon of black bean mole on each tortilla.
-
Place some kale and mushrooms on top.
