Mole Poblano – Day 1

WLA_9471

So my wife and decided to make the king of all sauces, Mole Poblano, a fabulous amalgam of chiles (3 kinds), seeds, nuts, spices, herbs, chocolate, etc. Definitely the poster dish for “the total is greater than the sum of its parts”. And this dish has so many parts, imagine how great the total is! We spent about 45 minutes hands-on time, but the dish took the better part of the day. Plan is to let it meld and mellow out for a couple of days and to serve it on top of some roast chicken. Stay tuned.

    Truly a good mole poblano is one of the great joys of the universe. Best of luck with your experiment! I can’t wait to find out how it turns out.

    Thanks. Not exactly an experiment since we’ve been making this dish for many, many years. But each time is slightly different and always an adventure!
