Garnish:
Preheat the grill. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
For the crust: In a food processor combine all the ingredients until the crust is mealy and fully incorporated. Turn the crust into a mixing bowl.
For the chops: Season each chop with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and Essence. Place on the grill. Grill on each side for 2 minutes. The chops are being grilled for searing and marking only, not to cook them. Allow the chops to cool completely.
Rub each chop with the melted chocolate and cover with the nut crust, covering the entire chop completely. In a saute pan, heat the remaining olive oil. When the pan is smoking hot, add the chops. Sear on one side for 3 minutes. Turn the chops over and place in the oven. Cook for 10 to 12 minutes for medium. In a deep fryer, cook julienned sweet potatoes until crispy and golden, about 1 minute. Set aside for garnish.
Chocolate and roasted poblano sauce:
In a sauce pan, heat the olive oil. When the oil is hot, saute the poblanos, onions, shallots, and garlic, for 2 to 3 minutes. Season with Essence. Stir in the stock, bring to a boil and cook over high heat for 15 minutes. Whisk in the chocolate and cream, continue simmering for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and puree in a blender. Return sauce to the heat and season with salt and pepper.
To plate: Spoon the sauce on the bottom of the plate. Place the julienned sweet potato in the center of the sauce. Lay the chops against the potatoes with their bones crossing. Garnish with green onions, red and yellow peppers.
