Mole Poblano — mexikanische Chili-Schokoladen-Sauce mit Hähnchen
Mexico's most celebrated sauce and a true labour of love: a deep, complex mole built from a dozens-strong cast of dried chiles, nuts, seeds, spices, fruit and a little dark chocolate, toasted, blended and simmered into a velvety, brick-dark sauce that's at once smoky, fruity, spicy, bitter and just faintly sweet. Poured over poached chicken or turkey and dusted with sesame seeds, mole poblano is the dish of fiestas and celebrations across Mexico — an edible monument to patience.
