Mole is not a mystery, but some people say that it's only prepared
correctly in Oaxaca or Pueblo. There are seven different colored moles
made in Oaxaca. The color often depends on what kind of vegetable or
chile you use.

As I recall, there is mole verde, mole rojo, mole colorado, mole
coloradito, mole amarillo, and mole negro and the brown
manchamanteles.

If you google for recipes, you will find all the recipes for homemade
moles you want
right here in this group.

Some people think that mole is the meat or poultry in the sauce. It's
not.

A mole is just an chile sauce with textures created by whatever seeds
you want to add. Mole poblano contains chocolate. You can add bananas
or plaintains or whatever to thicken the mole.

Pumpkin seeds are used sometimes. Sesame seeds can go into the mole or
be sprinkled on top of the sauce once it's poured over whatever meat
or poultry you're serving.

You can sear tender meat or poultry to seal in the juices or you can
boil tougher cuts of meat to tenderize them
