Oyamel Restaurant - Jose Andres yet again

We couldn't get a reservation Monday night at Cafe Atlantico, so Reeves booked us at nearby Oyamel (thinking it was a restaurant we'd taken the Taylors to a few years back). It's cocina Mexicana, with a lot of exotica: sauteed grasshoppers (we skipped that), pollo mole poblano, wahoo ceviche, fruit soup, and on and on. Jose's website (http://www.josemadeinspain.com/recipes.htm) didn't give any mole recipes. But he does give his take on the tomato/eggplant/pepper/onion roast which I do in what Suzanne has renamed "puree": he tears the roasted vegetables into large shreds and douses them with sherry vinegar, which is the ingredient so central to his Moorish stew.
