Mole de rancho

various dates

When you prepare this sauce, make a whole pot at once and freeze leftovers for later. It will save you a lot of time. This sauce also has chocolate in it, but is very different from mole poblano or the Dona Maria mole poblano. Recipes vary quite a bit.

 

INGREDIENTS

This is what you need for 2 quarts:

• 10 cups chicken / beef stock
• 1/2 lb.  guajillo chili peppers
• 1/2 lb.  ancho chili peppers
• 1/2 lb.  pasilla chili peppers
• 4-8 oz. dark chocolate
• 1 bread roll
• 1-2 tortillas
• 2 tsp. ground cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp.ground cloves
• S&P

Directions

• Boil the chiles until soft.
• Fry and grind the bread, tortillas and spices.
• Combine all ingredients in a blender cup.
• Blend the stock with boiled chiles, spices, chocolate until it is a homogeneous mixture
  Traditionally, dry peppers and spices are ground in a molcajete.
• Fry in a saucepan with a little oil.
• Simmer over low heat. Reduce until the sauce thickens.
  This may take several hours.
• Adjust seasoning.
• Add the chicken.
• Serve and enjoy.
