Steps
- 1
Remove the seeds and stems from the chiles, then soak them in boiling water.
- 2
Toast the cinnamon stick, cloves, peppercorns, cumin, anise seeds, and sesame seeds on a dry skillet, being careful not to burn them.
- 3
Roast the tomatoes, onion, and garlic cloves.
- 4
Fry the bread rolls, tortillas, almonds, apple, pear, and plantain in oil or lard until golden.
- 5
Once everything is ready, start blending: the toasted spices, fried tortillas, almonds, bread, and fruits with a little of the chile soaking water. Add the roasted tomatoes, onion, and garlic. Strain and set aside. (The mixture should be very smooth.)
- 6
Next, blend all the soaked chiles, raisins, chocolate, and prunes, always using the chile soaking water. Add more water if needed. Blend until very smooth, strain, and set aside.
- 7
In a large clay pot, heat 1 cup of oil or lard. When hot, add the mixture from step 5 and fry over low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon to prevent sticking.
- 8
Continue frying, gradually adding the mixture from step 6. Season with salt and sugar to taste. The sauce should be thick.
- 9
For the turkey or chicken broth, wash the pieces well with water and a little lemon juice to remove any odor.
- 10
Bring to a boil with the roasted onion and garlic, add salt, and when it starts boiling, add the celery stalks.
- 11
Once the meat is cooked, it's ready to serve with the mole.
- 12
Note: If you won't use all the mole at once, place the pieces you plan to serve in a separate pot with a little broth (remove the garlic, onion, and celery first) and enough mole. The rest of the mole can be refrigerated for several days since it doesn't contain broth, only water.
- 13
To serve, place a piece of turkey or chicken with mole on a plate, sprinkle with a little toasted sesame seeds, and serve with white rice.
- 14
You can also use this mole for enchiladas filled with fried plantain, picadillo, or shredded chicken, for chicken chilaquiles, or simply on dinner rolls with mole and shredded chicken.
