Legendary Slow Cooker Mexican Mole Sauce Recipe
Mole is a traditional Mexican sauce from the States of Puebla and Oaxaca. Mole is an amazing and complex blend of chilies, spices, nuts, fruit, and chocolate. Depending on the recipe the ingredient list for a from-scratch mole is 20 – 30 ingredients long and takes hours to cook.
This recipe uses a slow cooker and a few convenience items to make molé easy enough for an everyday meal.
Slow Cooker Chicken Mole Poblano - Easy Cheater Version
So I start with Dona Maria Mole Sauce. It comes in two forms, a ready-to-use liquid form or in a concentrate. With the concentrate, you add chicken stock to cook with. I doctor it up with spices and toss it in the slow cooker. Now we can have chicken mole any night of the week. Don't knock it until you try it:-)
