Chicken Breast Recipe Tip
Mole Sauce

	Mole is a term used to describe a number of sauces in Mexican cuisine. These thick, rich, sauces are prepared from roasted ingredients that are ground into a fine powder or a fine paste. The powder or paste is mixed with broth or water and simmered until it reaches the desired consistency. Mole creation starts with chile peppers such as ancho chile peppers and chipotle peppers. Additional ingredients vary from one sauce to the next and can include chocolate, nuts, tomatoes, black pepper, garlic, cumin, sesame seeds, and many more.
