Holy Mole Sauce is a long project, but the results are pretty outstanding. I used my version to make delicious chicken and cheese enchiladas.
4 cloves garlic
1 medium onion
3 small tomatoes
8 black peppercorns
1 stick cinnamon
1 teaspoon whole cumin seeds
1 teaspoon fennel seeds
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons sesame seeds
6 dried ancho peppers
3 dried pasilla peppers
2 cups hot water
2 tablespoons almonds
1/4 cup peanuts
1/4 cup pecans
1/4 cup raisins
5-6 cups chicken stock
1 plantain or unripe banana
4 corn tortillas
3 ounces Mexican Chocolate (Ibarra is good)
1/4 cup lard
1 whole chicken
8-10 cups water
1 onion, quartered
2 stalks celery
2 carrots, chopped
10 black peppercorns
2 dried ancho peppers
The base of mole sauce is actually chicken stock, not garden moles.
I just tossed all the stock ingredients above in a large pot and let it simmer for around three hours.
The finished stock was a dark color and had a great flavor.
