Mole Sauce Ingredients

Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chiles

    Remove the stems and seeds from the dried ancho and guajillo chiles. Toast them lightly on a dry skillet over medium heat for about 2-3 minutes until fragrant. Be careful not to burn them.

  2. 2

    Blend the Sauce

    In a blender, combine the toasted chiles, tomatoes, garlic, onion, peanut butter, cinnamon, cumin, oregano, and chicken or vegetable broth. Blend until smooth.

  3. 3

    Cook the Mole

    In a medium pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Pour in the blended mole sauce and bring to a simmer. Let it cook for about 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.

  4. 4

    Season the Sauce

    Taste the mole and season with salt and pepper as needed. Adjust the thickness by adding more broth if necessary.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Once the mole is ready, serve it as a side sauce with your favorite dishes, such as grilled chicken, tacos, or enchiladas.
