How to make it
- In a saucepan, brown the onion and garlic in the oil. Season with salt and pepper. Add the almonds, sesame seeds, ancho and spices. Sauté for about 2 minutes. Add the remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer gently, uncovered, about 20 minutes. Season with salt. In a blender, purée until smooth. Adjust the seasoning.
- For a more intensely flavoured sauce, use whole coriander, cumin and cloves. Toast the whole spices in a skillet over high heat, then grind them in a coffee grinder or mortar.
- Note: Anchos are dried poblano peppers, a medium-hot variety frequently used in Mexican dishes. You can find them at most Latin American groceries.
- How to use with chicken: boil your chicken under tender drain, cover the chicken with mole and simmer until thick
- How to use with pork: Cube your pork add garlic salt pepper cover with water and boil until water evaporates and the meat is fork tender. continue to cook for 10 to 15 minutes as the fats from the pork will fry the meat. Then cover with the mole and heat thoroughly.Your pork should not be to lean as the fat adds flavor, not really healthy but taste good
