February's Simply Amazing Dish of the Month: Borrego en Mole Negro de Oaxaca @ Sol Cocina Mexicana

New month, new dish to be chosen.

February's Simply Amazing Dish of the Month was chosen at Sol Cocina Mexicana. Two dishes battled, but one stood out more. 

It was the Borrego en Mole Negro de Oaxaca. It's grilled marinated New Zealand lamb chops, sweet plantains, toasted sesame and oaxaca style black mole sauce, served with black beans. 

Its competitor was the Puntas de Filete. That's a sauteed beef tenderloin tip, sweet plantains, fire roasted tomato chipotle quernado salsa with melted oaxaca cheese, served with black beans. 

The cook on the lamb chops were medium and came out perfect. The flavors blended well with both dishes, but the lamb chops just had the taste profile a cut above the other dish.

Go and try the award winner and then order its challenger next time. You decide. 

Congratulations to Chef Armando Cobian and his staff.
