Lentil and Eggplant Chili Mole, Alder-Smoked Sweet Potato Fries

Dinner 11/02

Lentil and Eggplant Chili Mole

Alder-Smoked Sweet Potato Fries

Lentils, eggplant and... cocoa powder?!

Oh, my... so, so, good. This cookbook is shaping up as something special.

As an accompaniment, we made roasted sweet potato fries. They were cut into wedges, tossed with olive oil, salt, pepper and smoked paprika, alder-smoked for 25 minutes, and finally baked at 425F for 30 minutes.

We may have finally figured out the way to get the kids to eat sweet potatoes. ;)


This is a test recipe for Isa Chandra Moskowitz's next cookbook. As part of the testing agreement, we can't give out the recipe.
