DuClaw Naked Fish Sweet Potato “Mole”

February 3, 2016 by MCM Mama 15 Comments

Welcome to another installment in my “Cooking with Beer” series.  I’ve really been enjoying this and have another awesome recipe for you. This time DuClaw Brewing sent me their Naked Fish to cook with. Naked Fish is a Chocolate Raspberry Stout that clocks in at a nice low 4.6% ABV. The chocolate raspberry flavor is accomplished by the addition of a chocolate raspberry coffee.

When I first heard of it, I immediately thought it would work well in my Sweet Baby Jesus cupcake recipe with a raspberry topping instead of frosting, but I wanted to try something new. (But if you want to try it in the other recipe and report back, I’d love to hear!)

When I think savory chocolate, the first thing that popped to mind was Mexican mole, probably because a local restaurant occasionally has it on the menu and it’s fabulous! I’ll be the first to admit that we played fast and loose with the idea and came up with our own rendition. It has only one type of pepper and very few ingredients compared to traditional moles. It is, however, really tasty and quite simple to make. We served it over pork that we cooked in the Instant Pot on slow cooker setting with a cup of chicken broth. I think it would also be tasty with chicken. It has a slightly sweet, chocolatey, spicy flavor and I may have eaten some of the sauce straight from the pot with a spoon.

    That sounds really good! I think the mole would also be tasty on pork or beef. Yum!

    What a creative idea! I’ve never tried to make a mole, it looks like it would go great on some homemade tacos! Duclaw sounds like an awesome brewery, I need to check out their stuff!

    This sounds so delicious. I’ve never made a mole at home before but will definitely give this a try.

    If I had to try to figure out another recipe, I’m thinking maybe some chocolate raspberry brownies that include beer? YUM.

    This “mole” seems like it would taste great with a variety of different proteins, especially chicken.
