Although I had a shopping list, when we went to the Pátzcuaro mercado today, we first went to Carnicería La Norteña http://www.pbase.com/panos/carniceria for bacon.
Frank had some nice beef short ribs on the counter. Our conversation led from Caldo de Res to Mole de Olla. We ended up buying the short ribs and a couple of cuts of chamberete. (Which I think is shin of beef, but not sure. I spurned the cola de res lying there.)
We then went to a few verduras stands to get the necessary vegetables: calabacitas, elotes (only 2 needed), zanahorias, ejotes, chayotes, jitomates, and xoconostles. The Señora of the stand told us we needed only one xoco! Must be tangy.
For some reason, I bought a medio kilo of tomates verdes also. It's not in my recipe ("Mexico—The Beautiful Cookbook"), but sounded useful. Any thoughts on including them?
I don't have any of the bitter chayote that made this Mole de Olla, in Mexico City, so special, and it appears that I don't have the requested 2 chiles pasillas, but I'm sure it will turn out fine.
Saludos,
