Mole Sauce
You will need:
2 ancho chiles
2 guajillo chiles
2 tablespoons sesame seeds
1 tablespoon peanuts
2 tablespoons raisins
1/2 onion
2 cloves garlic
1 tomato
2 ounces dark chocolate
1 cup chicken broth
salt to taste
Instructions
- Start by toasting the ancho and guajillo chiles, sesame seeds, and peanuts in a dry pan over medium heat until fragrant.
- Remove the toasted ingredients from the pan and soak them along with the raisins in hot water until they become soft and pliable.
- In the same pan, sauté the onion, garlic, and tomato until they are caramelized and develop a deep, rich flavor.
- Drain the soaked ingredients and put them in a blender along with the sautéed onion, garlic, and tomato. Blend until you achieve a smooth consistency.
- Pour the blended mixture into a pot and simmer it over low heat until it thickens to your desired consistency.
- Add the dark chocolate to the simmering sauce and stir until it is completely melted and incorporated into the sauce.
- Finally, season the sauce with salt to taste. Remember, the salt will help balance out the sweetness of the chocolate and raisins, so don't be shy with it.
