Mole, meaning ‘sauce’, is used widely as a marinade whilst cooking and a sauce for serving. With each area keeping their secret recipe, there is no set Mole ingredient list. However, most will contain a variety of chillies, spices, chocolate and thickened with nuts, then cooked low and slow until super-rich and fragrant. Mole is another staple, with each family recipe slightly different to another, with a minimum of 20 ingredients and including fruits, nuts, chilli peppers, and spices like black pepper, cinnamon, or cumin.
