In this country, use turkey parts like wings or drumsticks and simmer for 35 to 40 minutes in a small amount of stock, then finish cooking in the sauce for another 30 to 40 minutes. Please note that when served in this manner with poultry or other meats, the sauce should be thinned to a fairly light consistency. When it is used as a filling, it must be dense and thick. The day before beginning the sauce, remove the stems and tops from the chiles; carefully shake out and reserve the seeds.
Rinse the chiles under cold running water. Spread them out in a single layer where they can dry completely. Let stand until the following day, turning occasionally and checking to be sure not a drop of moisture remains. Crush the bread to fine crumbs or grind in a food processor.
You should have about 1 cup. Set aside. Spread the chiles they must be bone-dry in one layer on a baking sheet. Toast them in the oven, turning frequently, until crisp and deeply blackened, about 20 minutes. Let the chiles stand at room temperature until completely cooled. Spread the pecans and almonds on a baking sheet. Toast them in the oven until golden brown, about 10 minutes. On a griddle or in a small cast-iron skillet, heat the reserved chile seeds over high heat, shaking the pan occasionally, until thoroughly charred and black on all sides, about 5 minutes.
Because of the fumes, this is best done outdoors if you have the means. You can speed the process by sprinkling a few drops of vegetable oil over the seeds and igniting with a match, standing well back from the flame and taking care to shield your face, clothing, and hair. Drain and set aside. Heat a griddle or medium-size cast-iron skillet over low heat. If using 1 large onion, cut it in half crosswise leaving the skin on.
Place the onion, individual unpeeled garlic cloves, tomato stem side down , and tomatillos in the husks on the griddle. Cook, turning frequently. The onion and garlic are done when they are somewhat softened, about 8 minutes for the garlic and 20 to 25 minutes for the onion. The tomato is done when the skin is blackened and blistered all over, about 15 to 20 minutes. The tomatillos are done when they are lightly softened all over, about 10 to 15 minutes. Handle them delicately so as not to squeeze them and pierce the skin, and turn frequently to avoid scorching.
Remove each kind of vegetable as it is done and set it aside in a separate small bowl. When the vegetables are cool enough to handle, remove the husks from the tomatillos and peel the rest, making sure to save the juices. If using a large onion cut in half, scrape the black bits off the cut side.
Place the sesame seeds in a medium-size heavy skillet over medium heat and toast just until golden about 3 minutes , stirring constantly and shaking the pan. Immediately scrape out the seeds into a small bowl to stop the cooking.
In a small, heavy skillet, heat 1 tablespoon lard over medium-high heat until rippling. Add the canela, thyme, oregano, cloves, allspice, nutmeg and ginger. Fry the spices, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 2 minutes. In a small skillet, heat another 2 tablespoons lard over medium heat until rippling.
Add the raisins and bread crumbs; cook, stirring, until the raisins are puffed and the bread is lightly colored, about 2 minutes. If using both machines, place the pecans, almonds, sesame seeds, bread-raisin mixture, ground chiles, and drained chile seeds in the food processor working in batches as necessary.
Combine the two mixtures in a large bowl. If using only a blender, line up all the prepared ingredients next to the machine on the counter, place some of each in the blender container, add a few tablespoons chicken stock, and process until smooth, adding more stock as necessary to facilitate blending. If thoroughly processed, the mixture will not require sieving, so try not to rush things.
Pour each batch into a bowl as it is done and proceed with the next batch. In a large, heavy saucepan or Dutch oven, heat the remaining 4 tablespoons lard over high heat until rippling.
Cover and cook, stirring frequently, until the harshness of the chiles is mellowed, 35 to 40 minutes. The mole should now be a heavy paste like a thick frosting mixture. Cheese is Mexican cuisine is one of the most popular dishes in the world. In fact, according to CHD Expert, Mexican food is the 3rd most popular menu type in the US; taking 8 percent of the total national restaurant landscape. What is Mole Sauce?
Posted by El Paso Mexican Restaurant. January 14, Is there chocolate in mole? Types of Mole Sauces you should know There are several variations of mole sauces and they differ in ingredients. Mole Poblano Considered as the national dish of Mexico, this mole sauce is red in color and contains lots of dried chile flavor.
It is often served on dishes like braised meat like pork or beef. Mole Negro The common mole sauce you get to see served in many Mexican restaurants in the United States. With its dark, bitter and sweet flavor, you could guess that it contains more chocolates than the other types of mole sauces. Mole Coloradito Mole Coloradito has a brownish-red in color and contains dried chiles, sweet fruits to taste and other sweet ingredients.
I made this one day and I didn't think it had the flavor I was looking for. After a day in the frig. The only other problem that I had was in step 6. The mole in the blender was too thick to blend the added vegetables. So I added the final cup of chicken stock to the blender and it blended easily.
I then poured the blended mixture into the pan and added the rest of the ingredients. I was just a bit puzzled by the description of dark chocolate so I added 5 oz. I do think this would work with any good dark sweetened chocolate though. The plus is that this makes alot so I am freezing pints of the stuff to pull out when we have a craving for mole. This is fabulous Allrecipes! Thanks for sharing. Read More. Most helpful critical review loohoo. Rating: 1 stars. I did not care for this recipe.
Therefore, I tried making my own mole and since this recipe was so highly rated, I thought I'd give it a try. I'm from California--where Mexican food grows on trees as often as avocados do--so I know how delicious mole is supposed to taste and feel and this was not it. Reviews: Most Helpful. This recipe is fantastic! It makes a mole sauce that competes with the best authentic resturants or cooks. My suggestions: I think too much chicken broth was called for as it is named three times in the recipe but only two cups are actually used?
I just used according to the directions and also actually cut down a bit on the chicken broth at the end to get a thicker sauce. Otherwise this was absolutely excellent. This makes a LOT of sauce, so be prepared to either feed a herd or freeze some. Which is fine; freezing has no negative effect at all. Also, I used half semi-sweet chocolate and half straight powdered cocoa to make sure I didn't get too much sweet. Doing so made it perfect as the more bitter chocolate I think blended better with the savory tone of the sauce.
Highly recommend! Ironwoman audrey. I loved the mole recipe! I made a few tweaks, but it was still delicious! I substituted lard with olive oil, replaced the dinner roll with another corn tortilla, used vegetable broth instead of chicken broth, and omitted the ancho chiles only because I couldn't find any! I served the mole in a fondue dish with a plate full of cubed grilled tofu, sweet potatoes, zucchini, and yellow bottleneck squash for skewing and dipping! Incredibly delicious.
The ingredients are available at any larger chain grocery store. This recipe is worth every second it takes to make. We also made "the real mojitos" from this site and our evening was perfection. I am a frequent 'tester' of several of the recipes on this website.
