lard in a saucepan. Cook the puree in the hot lard,
stirring constantly.

Add: 2 cups broth (turkey or pork -- whatever meat is
to be served with the sauce) 1 & 1/2 ounces of
unsweetened chocolate squares salt and pepper to taste

Stir over low heat until the chocolate squares have
melted. Sauce should be quite thick. Pour sauce over

lowest possible heat for thirty minutes. Just before
serving, sprinkle with 2 more tablespoons of sesame
seeds.

Serves 8-10 (with about 8 lbs of meat).
