Mole 101

Method

Steps

Place the tomatoes and water in a pot and bring to a boil for 20 minutes. Pour boiled tomatoes into a blender and blend for 10 seconds. (You can skip this step if using store bought tomato sauce)
Strain the tomatoes back (or tomato sauce) into the pot and stir in Guelaguetza's black mole paste until the paste has fully dissolved.
Bring mole mixture to medium heat; add chicken broth. Season with salt, and chocolate.
Stir for another 10 minutes until the mole comes to a boil.
Enjoy!
