Mole
Anyone no where I can get a good recipe for mole?
I found some at the grocery store but it tastes nothing like the mole at my favorite mexican restaurant. Or if not a receipe anyone know of a good brand of premade mole? I love it but want it more often than when we go out. Thanks in advance. |

Mole

Those are the two most oft found up here in salmon country. You can find many recipes online but what type Mole do you want ? I like green sauces, so for me its a Mole Verde (pumpkin/pipian) or a Mole Poblano with poultry and of course reds with meats. For Amarillo, Ive been known to use golden raisins and golden plums form my trees, a couple of tblspns applesauce also works to smooth it out a bit, along with a pinch of cinnamon, nutmeg, cumin and sometimes allspice with the obligatory yellow wax and/or gueros( a bit of fruity habenero is a nice touch in this dish,... just don't touch anything else after handling the Hab) to use with pork . Squash is a good side dish for this one. One ingredient I also like to use is cashew butter instead of peanuts. It is usually in the health food Isles or most stores here have a grinder to make nut pastes near the bulk food isles. I get my sesame paste there also. Natural P-nut Butters are also better to use than the Skippy/Jiffy ( too sugary) stuff you can fresh grind these also. Saves alot of time compared to making your own. Moles may or may not contain chocolate, just remember Bakers, not milk chocolate, try to get the highest percentage you can find without breaking the bank. If using the popular packaged Mexican chocolate like Ibarra, most already has cinnamon and a course raw sugar in it so, adjust accordingly. Legend has it there are 7 or 8 or x,...... but in reality there are hundreds of thousands of varieties as every family has their own traditional. Even in contemporary Mexico they are using more prepackaged goods. So if in a hurry just take the store-bought stuff and adjust to your touch then call it your own. G |
