Mole is such a treat for me. I didnāt know about it growing up, so
discovering as an adult that chocolate could be used in dinner, not just dessert was the best.
This mole negro includes tomato š
, tomatillo, jalapeƱo š¶, onion, peanut butter š„, fig, garlic š§, cocoa š«, sesame, pumpkin š, ancho, and a variety of spices. Itās this amalgamation of so many flavors that make it complex and interesting. This also has sugar added, FYI. I would also say it tasted mild, not medium.
I smothered tempeh in the sauce, then added some fresh peppers and delivered them to my face in some mini tacos. Yum. The chocolate came through a little better š¤¤ when it wasnāt competing with the taste of the tempeh.
