    Just made flautas con mole last night, ultimate comfort food 😪 and I totally agree, I’ve never had two moles that taste the same, even my own turn out a bit different every time depending on whist I have on hand. God I just love mole so much, I kinda wanna travel all over Mexico and try and document all the different moles and the personal and historical stories behind them. It truly is a dish that’s fascinated me since I first tried it as a child.

      If the mole is good enough, I can just eat that shit with a spoon. If you haven't come across some homemade mole that you would literally just eat by itself, you aint had good mole before... Probably one of the best restaurants in Mexico, Pujol, serves it's most iconic dish "Mole Madre" just as is, a plate with mole on it with three types of homemade tortillas beside it. you're supposed to taste the mole and the depth behind it and truly appreciate the palate of the sauce maker. Chef Olivera's rendition on his mole is that they save a bit of the mother mole from almost the inception of his restaurant. so every plate of mole madre that goes out in his dining room, that mole has 3+ years of date on it! wild.

    Clarifications, the Chef mentions peanuts as Chinese, peanuts originated in the Americas originally domesticated in South America by 1492 they were well established as crops all across the hemisphere. She also mentions how the lack of onions and garlic would have made pre-colonization food bland. Plenty of allium species are native to the Americas, spices, herbs and wild plants would have served as wonderful condiments. What we know now in the food landscape is only the iceberg of ingredients uses all across the Americas. In contrast, if the rest of the world removed Native American ingredients what would their food be and taste like?

      MB peanuts were cultivated in South America then brought to China via Portuguese traders during the Ming Dynasty, the Chinese love peanuts so much they started growing it. In pre-Columbian, spices like cinnamon, vanilla beans, sesame seeds, mustard and oregano were used for flavouring food, so definitely the food wasn’t bland.

    Y’all need to chill out in these comments for real. Yes she used a lot of ingredients in her mole, but her point was that you don’t have to do that if you don’t want to. As long as you have the basic ingredients for mole, that’s all you need, and you can add or take out whatever you want. Different people make mole different ways. Also for those of you who are roasting her for saying her name “the white way” most American Latinos do that because that’s how we have been trained to pronounce our last names. She probably does it so that non Spanish speakers will feel more comfortable trying to pronounce her name. This video was really cool, and I love that she knows so much history about our people and cuisine. I love these videos ❤️

    I can truly appreciate your remark about fewer ingredients, less time, and focus on the flavor.
    Where you lose me is coming across as though the lesser time involved and ingredient based mole can truly compare to the depth of flavor you get with the (granted more arduous) longer more ingredient filled mole.
    I’m all about keeping it simple most of the time.
    But some things, to get them at there absolute best, simply takes more time and effort.
    But for a simpler and quicker sauce, this one does look tasty.

I thought it suppose to be simple. Chile pod, onion, broth, garlic, chocolate and salt/pepper for taste. That the recipes I remembered last for mole sauce. To be honest. I have not had a mole sauce before. That’s something I’m willing to try. But with over 5 ingredients to make a sauce. I don’t think I can detect the flavor of the ingredients. It overly masked the taste wise to be honest. Wow. Amazing.
