Need a good authentic recipe for mole using Mexican chocolate.?

Question

Want to make as a surprise for my new husband who loves this dish at a local restaurant.

Answer 1

The second recipe sounds great. Anything you can do to give it  a more homemade flavor would really add to it too, maybe see if  you can get some pasilla peppers from your local market or make the chicken broth from scratch. It will give it that extra little bit. Some recipes also have ground pumpkin seeds. Nothing is worse than a weak mole. Some restaurants around here use powdered broth- it tastes wretched.

Answer 2

4 1/2 cups chicken broth

3 tablespoons olive oil

1 cup finely chopped onion

3 tablespoons chopped garlic

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

3Add onion, garlic, oregano, cumin and cinnamon.

4Cover and cook until onion is almost tender, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes.

6Gradually whisk in chicken broth.

7Increase heat to med. high.

8Boil until reduced, about 35 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Preparacion: Poner a freír (por separado cada ingrediente) el cacahuete, las almendras, el ajonjolí, el plátano macho, las galletas, los ajos y la cebolla. Ase los chiles en un comal, desvénelos y póngalos a remojar en agua unos 10-15 minutos. Luego muela todos los ingredientes anteriores, junto con las pasas, los clavos y la canela. Esta mezcla queda como una pasta. Ya que esté lista, puede terminar de presentar el mole añadiendo caldo de pollo, el chocolate y el piloncillo a que se disuelvan.
