Mole Poblano serves 4-6
8 ounces of Mole Paste (Dona Maria brand)
1 each Chile Ancho toasted and seeded
1 each Chile Pasilla toasted and seeded
2 each slices of White Bread toasted
3 ounces of Dark Unsweetened Chocolate (Abuelita brand)
2 ounces of ripe Platano Macho (Ripe Plantain)
2 ounces of Dark Brown Sugar (if you would prefer a sweeter Mole add more)
1/2 teaspoon Ground Cloves
1/2 teaspoon Salt
2 ounces of Roasted Peanuts or 1 teaspoon of Peanut Butter
1 quart of Chicken Broth
Soak all of the above ingredients for 2-3 hours in the chicken broth. Blend all of the ingredients adding them in slowly so they mix well and have a gravy like consistency. Transfer to a sauce pan and simmer slowly (add more broth if the Mole consistency is too thick). Mole Poblano is traditionally served with chicken however pork and turkey make great alternatives. All of the above ingredients can be found at your local Latin market.
