Ok, so what do you do when you got only about 1 cup of cabernet left in the bottle and a frying pan with leftover bacon fat? Simple you refry some pinto beans in the bacon fat and use the leftover wine to enrich your mole sauce.
Like usual I use Dona Maria mole sauce. It asks for about 4 cups of water or broth to mix with it. But I put 1 cup of red wine, 1/4 cup of red wine vinegar, and 2 3/4 cups of water. Then I brush it on the chicken when its almost done. While the chicken was grilling I sprinkled it with a little garlic salt. Then I pour some more sauce on the chicken when serving.
If you don't happen to have bacon fat laying around, simply fry one or two strips, and chop and add to the beans for an even greater flavor. I didn't have a pot of beans handy today, so I just used a large can of Sun-Vista pinto beans.
Margaritas mandatory, and overall, very rich.
