For the mole sauce:
* 1 tablespoon olive oil
* 1/2 large sweet onion, diced
* 1 cloves garlic, minced
* 1 mango, pared, pitted and diced
* 1 can (6-ounce) tomato paste
* 3 cups low sodium chicken broth
* 3 tablespoons Ancho chile powder
* 1 tablespoon coriander, ground
* 3 ounces Scharffen Berger® 62% Cacao Semisweet Dark Chocolate, grated
For the sausages:

* 1 cup fresh cilantro, finely chopped
* 1 small sweet onion, minced
* 2 tablespoons olive oil
* 1 mango, pared, pitted and finely diced
Mole sauce:
Step 1: Sauté Onions.
Pour olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat; add onions. Cook just until onions are translucent, about 3 to 4 minutes.
Step 2: Make the Sauce
Add the garlic, mango, tomato paste, broth, Ancho chile powder, coriander and Scharffen Berger® 62% cacao semisweet dark chocolate to the onions; stir until well combined. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 20 to 30 minutes.
Step 3: Puree Sauce
Remove sauce from heat. Using an immersion blender, puree until smooth. Alternatively, carefully pour into a blender to puree. Refrigerate until use.
Step 4: Combine Sausage Ingredients
In a medium bowl, combine the ground chicken, mango, cilantro, onion and ½ cup prepared mole sauce. Mix until well combined.
Step 5: Form Sausages
Lay a sheet of plastic wrap flat on the work surface. Place 1/3 cup of the sausage mix into the center of the plastic wrap. Fold the plastic wrap in half over the sausage mix. Roll the sausage mix into the shape of a link sausage. Once the desired size in achieved, twist each end of the plastic tightly.
Step 6: Blanch Sausages
Bring a large stock pot of water to a boil. Carefully drop sausages into boiling water; cook for 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from water. When cool enough to handle, remove plastic wrap casings and discard. Set sausages aside.
Step 7: Sauté and Serve
Pour olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Sauté the sausages for 8-10 minutes, turning to brown evenly on all sides. Arrange on a serving platter piled with Lemongrass Scented Scharffen Berger® Cacao Nib Rice Pilaf (see below for recipe). Garnish with cilantro sprigs and serve.
