Most Americans are unfamiliar with authentic Mexican mole sauce. While some may recognize it as “that sauce with chocolate in it,” only aficionados of true Mexican cooking know the subtleties of a great mole.
In general, we think of mole as a sauce or family of sauces. But this assumption has been hotly debated. As Rick Bayless, Chicago’s well-known Mexican chef explains, a sauce is rarely used as just a coating or an accessory in Mexican cooking. This is particularly true for stew-like dishes such as mole poblano, the version of mole that includes chocolate and is frequently combined with poultry. Dishes like this rely on the so-called sauce as the base of the meal, providing its essence as well as its glory.”*
