Mole Sauce Ingredients

Method

Mole Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chiles

    Remove stems and seeds from the dried Ancho and Pasilla chiles. Toast them in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 2-3 minutes until fragrant, then soak them in hot water for about 15 minutes.

  2. 2

    Sauté Aromatics

    In the same skillet, add olive oil and sauté chopped onion and garlic until they are soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Blend the Sauce

    In a blender, combine the soaked chiles, sautéed onion and garlic, tomato sauce, chicken broth, cumin, cinnamon, sugar, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth.

  4. 4

    Cook the Mole

    Pour the blended sauce into a saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Let it cook for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened.

  5. 5

    Finish with Sesame Seeds

    Stir in the sesame seeds and let the mole simmer for an additional 5 minutes. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
