Mole is a traditional Mexican sauce typically made with a combination of chili peppers, spices, nuts, and chocolate. It is often used as a base for various dishes, such as chicken or turkey, and is known for its complex, rich, and slightly sweet flavor. There are many regional variations of mole, each with its own distinct taste and ingredients, but the most well-known is mole poblano, which hails from the city of Puebla. The sauce is typically prepared by toasting and grinding the ingredients, then simmering everything together until it reaches the desired consistency. The result is a thick and flavorful sauce that is both savory and slightly sweet, and that pairs perfectly with rich and flavorful meats.
