Mole Poblano Recipe

This mole poblano recipe is a classic Mexican mole made with a puree of chili peppers, chocolate, toasted nuts, seeds and lots of seasonings and big flavor.

Mole Poblano Recipe

We're making our own Mole Poblano Sauce in the Chili Pepper Madness kitchen today, my friends. If you are a lover of Mexican cuisine, this is a recipe you need.

Mole sauce is a staple of Mexican cooking, referring to a number of different sauces that are actually quite different from each other. When most people think of "mole", however, they usually think of mole poblano, which is a rich, dark, chocolatey sauce made with upwards of 25 ingredients or more.

It's a fairly time-consuming sauce to make, with a number of steps and ingredients, and there are as many variations as there are cooks. It's most definitely worth the effort, however, considering the end flavor.

It is often served with turkey or chicken, though you can enjoy it in any number of Mexican recipes.

Mole Poblano Recipe Breakdown

Making mole poblano requires a number of ingredients and steps, which can become confusing. To make it easier, I've reduced it to the following steps, which I will elaborate more on below.

  • Chili Puree
  • Toast and Grind Seasonings
  • Final Puree
    • Fried Elements
    • Pan Elements
  • The Simmer
    • Reduce the Chili Puree
    • Final Puree + Chocolate + Chicken Stock

How to Make Mole Poblano - the Recipe Method

MAKE THE CHILI PUREE

Remove the stems and seeds from the dried chilies. Reserve 3 tablespoons of the seeds and set aside. Cut the peppers into flat pieces.

Reserved pepper seeds for making mole poblano

Heat a large pan to medium heat and dry toast the chili pepper pieces for 1-2 minutes per side, until they darken and release some of their oils. They might puff up a bit.

Dried peppers for making mole poblano

Transfer the toasted peppers to a large bowl and cover with very hot water. Soak for 20-30 minutes, or until very softened.

Strain the softened peppers and reserve the soaking liquid.

Transfer the peppers to a food processor with 1/2 cups of the soaking liquid and puree until very smooth. Add more soaking liquid if needed.

Straining the pureed peppers for mole poblano sauce

Strain the pepper puree into another bowl and set aside. Discard the solids and any additional soaking liquid. Set the chili puree aside for now.

Strained pureed peppers

FOR THE SEASONINGS

Heat a pan to medium heat. Add the reserved pepper seeds, sesame seeds, peppercorns, cloves, coriander seeds, and anise seeds. Dry toast for 1-2 minutes, until they become fragrant. Do not burn.

Toasting the seeds and seasonings in a hot pan

Transfer to a spice grinder or food processor along with the dried thyme, cinnamon and bay leaves. Process until you have a uniform seeds and spices mix. Set aside.

Ground spices and seeds in a bowl

FOR THE FRIED ELEMENTS

Heat ½ cup pork lard or oil in a large pan until melted and hot. Add the plantain and cook for 2 minutes, until they begin to soften.

Add the raisins and cook another minute, until they start to soften.

Add the almonds, peanuts, and pumpkin seeds. Stir and cook another 1-2 minutes, stirring.

Transfer mixture onto paper towels to drain. Reserve the oil and set the pan back onto the heat.

Tear the bread and tortillas into pieces and fry them until they become crispy and brown, turning here and there, about 2 minutes.

Fried nuts, bread and tortillas for making mole poblano

Transfer the fried bread and tortillas to a food processor along with the drained raisins, almonds, peanuts and pumpkin seeds.

PAN ELEMENTS

Heat the same pan back to medium heat. Add more lard or oil if needed. Add the onion and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until it softens up.

Add the garlic and cook 1 more minute.

Transfer the onion and garlic to the food processor along with the nuts and bread mixture.

To the food processor, add the roasted tomatoes and reserved spice mix.

Add 2 cups chicken stock and puree until nice and smooth. If needed, add a bit more chicken stock to ensure a very smooth mixture.

Straining the ground nuts and seeds mixture for mole sauce

Strain this mole flavoring mixture into a second bowl and set aside for now. Discard any solids. NOTE: You may want to do multiple rounds of straining, then reprocess the solids with a bit more chicken stock to get the most out of the solids.

MAKE THE MOLE

Heat 2 tablespoons lard or peanut oil in a large pot. Add the reserved chili puree and cook for 10 - 15 minutes, stirring, until the sauce thickens up and coats the back of a spoon.

Add the contents of the second bowl (the pureed and strained mole flavoring mixture), along with the chocolate, remaining 4 cups chicken stock and salt to taste.

Swirling chocolate into the pot of mole sauce

Stir until the chocolate is melted through, then simmer for at least 30 minutes, though 1 hour is better, stirring constantly, to let the flavors develop. Add more chicken stock if you’d like a thinner mole.

Taste and adjust for salt. If you’d like a sweeter mole, stir in 1 tablespoon sugar and simmer. Taste and adjust as desired.

Boom! Done! It looks and smells delicious, doesn't it? Very much like you might find in your favorite Mexican restaurant. As mentioned, making mole poblano does take a number of steps and ingredients to do it right, but it's definitely worth the effort.

Recipe Tips & Notes

  • Straining Steps. I like to strain my peppers and my second puree of seeds, nuts and seasonings multiple times to achieve a more uniform consistency. It is not required, but I like a smooth mole sauce.
  • The Peppers. I enjoy my mole poblano sauce with 4 different dried Mexican peppers - Ancho Chiles, Guajillo Peppers, Mulato Peppers and Pasilla Peppers. Together they offer a wonderful flavor base. However, you can use only ancho and guajillo if you'd prefer, and feel free to include other dried Mexican peppers, like smoky chipotle peppers, chile de arbol for extra heat, or others.
  • Extra Ingredients. There are many other ingredients you can use to make your mole poblano sauce. Other popular additions I've seen in other recipes include marjoram, tomatillos, parsley, vinegar, roasted poblano peppers, chipotle or other peppers, sugar or honey for sweetening and cutting any bitterness, and others.
  • Serving Mole Poblano Sauce. Mole poblano is traditionally served with turkey or chicken, though it is great in many dishes, like enchiladas, tacos, chicken mole and others. There are so many ways to enjoy it.

    I haven't made this recipe yet but it looks fantastic. I am going to be growing a lot of the peppers required for this next year so I definitely plan on making this. I have 2 things though to say. I have made simpler recipes and one thing I have done with them and the jarred variety from the store is that I add a bit of a quality Garam Masala powder to it. a bit of mexi-indian fusion that is fantastic. the second thing I need to ask though is. Since this recipe is so time consuming, has anyone tried to large batch make it and can it? if so how well does it hold up over time for use?

    A quick question about the mole recipe. For the almonds and peanuts you do not specify raw or roasted. Is it either/or?

      Since you're cooking them, you can use either, Linda. Enjoy.

    What can I say, Mike? you said everything! "fairly time-consuming sauce to make" but "most definitely worth the effort, however, considering the end flavor."
    Nothing to add!! Made it with turkey, and with my own choice: chipotle, ancho, arbol, mulato and guajillo.

    Obviously, my previous message should be deleted--fat fingers on my part. Still not sure how it happened to get sent. C'est la vie.

    I LOVE moles, so thanks for this! Here's a suggestion for a dish you might want to research: chiles en nogada. It's not usually too spicy--the occasional errant hot poblano aside--though I have total faith that you could kick it up notch or two in the heat department.

    No need to post message unless you want to.

    Cheers!
