Does anyone know how to make carne guisada using cocoa?

Question

Can anyone give me the recipe for carne guisada using cocoa powder? I found the recipe by several different people once wrote it down, never make it, and now I can not find it.

Answer 1

I think you are looking for mole sauce. Carne guisada coes not have the cocoa in it but mole does.I can give you both recipes and hopefully one will be what you're looking for.

Carne Guisada con papas (with potatoes)
. 3 lb Round Steak -- 1/2" Thick
2 lb Potatoes
8 oz Tomato Sauce
1 1/2 ts Salt
1/2 ts Ground Pepper
1/2 ts Ground Cumin
1 ea Large Clove Garlic --
Smashed
Water

Cut round steak into cubes and brown in shortening in heavy skillet or Dutch oven. Peel and cube potatoes (approximately in 1/2-inch cubes). Once meat is slight browned add potatoes and continue to brown. (Don't worry if it sticks to the bottom of the skillet. Add tomato sauce, salt, pepper, cumin powder and garlic. Add Approximately ONE cup of water and simmer until meat and potatoes are tender. Potatoes will thicken sauce.

----------------------------

Mole sauce (for chicken or beef)
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon dried cilantro
1/8 tablespoon dried minced garlic
1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed tomato soup
1 (4 ounce) can diced green chile peppers

DIRECTIONS:
Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat, and cook the onion until tender. Mix in cocoa powder, cumin, cilantro, and garlic. Stir in the tomato soup and green chile peppers. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer 10 minutes. Transfer to a gravy boat or pour directly over food to serve.

Good luck! Enjoy
