Improved Delicious Mole in a Cup

I've always made mole from scratch, but it obviously takes a lot of time. A good friend shared this tip (recipe) with me, and I loved it. It doesn't even seem like it's from a cup, as you'll see, and it's very easy. It may seem like a lot of ingredients, but we have almost all of them at home.
Improved Delicious Mole in a Cup
I've always made mole from scratch, but it obviously takes a lot of time. A good friend shared this tip (recipe) with me, and I loved it. It doesn't even seem like it's from a cup, as you'll see, and it's very easy. It may seem like a lot of ingredients, but we have almost all of them at home.
Cooking Instructions
- 1
Gather all your ingredients. I had the chocolate grated. I only had peanut butter, but the one I use is 100% natural, so I added 1 tablespoon. I cooked the chicken a day before and shredded it, so I heated the broth and reserved 2 cups.
- 2
Heat oil, fry the chiles, peanuts, tortilla, bread, onion, and garlic separately, one by one. Add them to the pot with the 2 cups of chicken broth. Finally, fry the tomatoes and add them to the chicken broth. Then add chocolate, cloves, peppercorns, oregano, and cinnamon. Let it sit for 5 to 10 minutes to hydrate, then blend it. Add more chicken broth to blend. (Be careful as the mixture is hot)
- 3
Melt the lard, let it cool, and add the blended mixture, straining it. Add to the blender, mole from the small jar or box with 1 cup of chicken broth and blend. Add the blended mole to the pot. Add Knorr seasoning or salt, let it boil for 10 minutes (keep stirring). Taste for salt, if you think it needs more chicken broth, add it. (In my case, it made a lot, so I reserved a cup and a half for some enmoladas, so I freeze it for later.)
- 4
Once you taste it and like it, add the chicken. Let it cook for 5 minutes, stirring. And it's ready. Red rice goes perfectly with it.
- 5
For the pickled onion: slice red or white onion. Add juice of 1 lime, vinegar, and equal amounts of water, about 5 tablespoons of salt, a touch of dried oregano, and let it sit for 5 minutes (or you can make it beforehand). Serve your chicken with rice, onion, and warm tortillas. This is a delight.

Slow Cooker Chicken Mole Slow Cooker Chicken Mole
Honestly, I am not the biggest fan of Chicken Mole, but my wife loves it. For Cinco de Mayo, I decided to make this dish for her. I immediately found out that when it is made fresh at home, it is so much better than what you get it at the restaurants.But please, please, please do not make the same mistake that I did with the recipe. A lot of recipes called for 4lbs of Chicken, but that seemed to be too much to us. We decided to halve the recipes that we found. We did that with everything, EXCEPT the chiles. Holy cow, that was Hot!We added more chocolate, so it was salvaged somewhat. Do not worry, this recipe has the right amount. If you like your food really hot, then just double the chiles. We had this over rice one night and in a burrito the following. Both were really good.Enjoy! J.A.B. -

Beef Mole Enchiladas Beef Mole Enchiladas
When I was a kid one of my favorite things to eat was cheese enchiladas suiza. Suiza is enchiladas with a tomato based sauce. As I got older and my pallet became more refined my favor turned to beef and the delicious mole sauce. If you've never tried it you don't know what you've been missing. Pronounced Mole-ay, it's a chocolate based sauce, but don't let that perturb you. It doesn't taste anything like the chocolate you're thinking of. It's a fantastic, savory, spicy brown sauce that pairs so well with beef. Here's my quick and easy recipe for Beef Mole Enchiladas. Whitetrash Gastronome -
