    Ingredients:

    2 teaspoons vegetable oil

    1/4 cup Guelaguetza Mole Coloradito paste

    4 tablespoons red curry paste

    3/4 pound carrots, peeled, cut into 1/2-inch-thick rounds

    1 medium onion, chopped

    1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced

    1 pound (about 3) waxy potatoes, like Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled, cut into 1/2-inch pieces

    1 pound skinless, boneless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces

    1 13.5-ounce can unsweetened coconut milk

    Chopped fresh basil and cilantro
