El Sabor De Oaxaca Mole Negro

Milk Street is the only vendor in the U.S. that carries this decadent mole crafted in Oaxaca, Mexico. The black paste yields a velvet-smooth sauce when diluted with water or stock that leads with aromatic sweet chili notes from four different chili varietals. The taste then transitions into layers of nutty richness from peanuts, walnuts and almonds. A touch of bitterness and moderate hit of heat rounds out the complex range of flavors. While many moles we sampled were too sugary, this one is perfectly balanced and can be sweetened to taste.

Place of Origin: Oaxaca, Mexico[/accordions-break] Mexico’s rich mole exists in hundreds of varietals—from bright mole verde to dark and nutty mole negro to rich and bright Oaxacan mole coloradito—but it’s increasingly difficult to find one in the States that showcases its complex flavors without processing or added sugar. [/banner_heading]Containing nuts, chili and oftentimes dried fruit and spices, mole is popular in paste form, as it allows the home cook to infuse dishes with layers of flavor without the laborious process of grinding, rehydrating, cooking, pureeing and reducing. [/banner-text-break]Use this rich paste in Mexican dishes like pollo en mole or enmoladas or get creative and incorporate into less traditional fare. Dilute with water or stock and fold into shredded chicken or beef. Try mixing it into ground meat and veggies and baking under mashed potatoes and pie crust for a spiced up version of Shepard’s pie. Or dollop a spoonful into a bean chili or any other hearty soup that will benefit from the mole’s sweet and savory complexity.[/how-to-use-break]
