Honest to God....there are a dozen Mexican restaurants within a 2 mile radius of me and NONE of them has any Mole.
Nope.
Thats wrong.....1 place does offer it but its lousy.
Gonna do it myself.

 

Did someone say Mole? :love008

It's the only reason I go to Mexican weddings. They seem to serve it.

 

Yeah... I make mole from time to time

 

Here's a recipe for ya:

Mole' (pronounce mo-lay) is difficult to find in restaraunts...well it's not that difficult to find, but good Mole' is difficult to find.

You can buy a Mole' base in most hispanic grocery stores (they're all over in TX, don't know where you're at). It usually comes in a glass jar and is almost solid and a very dark maroon color. Follow the directions on the base and add extra stuff to get it to your liking. The extra "stuff" that is put in mole' can range from spicy chili powder to sweet stuff like chocolate and peanut butter. It sounds nasty, but it's actually quite good, and is usually made by hispanic families around the holidays (that or Tamales, which some people stuff their tamales' w/mole' sauce) because it's very good w/poultry (chicken or turkey).


The absolute best way to make "real" mole' is to start from scratch, which takes a LOT of time, and a lot of lard/fat. I think the base at the store is like 20 grams of fat/serving.

Man....I miss my Grandmas cooking. The next time I see her is too far away (labor day).
