Our Favorite Way To Serve It Up

Traditional mole originates in the Oaxaca region of Mexico, and typically requires multiple cooking steps and a long list of ingredients. Our recipe makes it simple to get a traditional mole on your table in just minutes. We love to add lots of fresh garnishes to cut the richness of the sauce and balance out the sweet and earthy flavors of the mole.
