Why We Eat: Mole
Chef Claudette Zepeda explains molé, the much adored Mexican sauce with a palette of ingredients. Made from a variety of chiles, seeds, and spices, Claudette examines molé’s basic indigenous components and its variations based on what ingredients may have been available via geography, migration, and trade. While some recipes can include large numbers of diverse ingredients, Claudette explains how this pre-Hispanic sauce originating in Puebla or Oaxaca relies on the cook’s instincts and traditions.

He shared the 11 regional Mexican specialties he adores most. Mole negro, a velvety black sauce that’s traditionally served over roasted poultry, is one of the dishes on that list.

Easy Chicken Mole Recipe! Delicious Comfort Food!
MAKING MOLE: An Easy, Quick Chicken Mole Recipe! Delicious Comfort Food! Chicken & Spice & This Dish is SOOOO Nice! Mole is pronounced Mole-Lee and its simply shredded chicken in a thick, rich, spicy chili sauce or gravy. My Sister, Liz Moraga Garcia uses an already-roasted chicken from the big box store and she cuts time off the cooking. This is something you can do after work.
Pinch of Mexican: Liz’s Chicken Mole Recipe
½ cup cooking oil
¼ cup flour
¼ cup chili powder
3 cups chicken broth
1 chicken cooked and shredded
1 Tbs. cumin
Salt and pepper to taste
Heat oil in a large saucepan. Slowly add flour, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and add chili powder. Mix completely. Slowly add broth and return to heat. Continue mixing until Mole thickens. Add shredded chicken and add salt and pepper to suit your taste buds. You can also add hot chili peppers. Serve with rice, beans, and tortillas. Yum!
