Mole Poblano #4
(Adapted from The Pace Picante Cookbook.)
(Tony Wright wright@wsu.edu)


Procedure:

Pound chicken to 1/2 inch thickness. Lightly brown in oil (2 minutes on each side) and drain oil. Add garlic while chicken is cooking. Add remaining ingredients after oil is drained. Stir and bring to boil. Then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove chicken and keep warm. Cook and stir sauce until thickened. Pour sauce over chicken.

Nut Mixture:

Most moles contain nuts. For this recipe, I use 1-2 TB of sesame seeds. I either grind them OR I pound them into the chicken. Sometimes I add 1 TB ground almonds to the sesame seeds. Alternatively, one could use a heaping teaspoon of chinese sesame seed paste OR Rogelio Bueno Red Mole paste (which is primarily pumpkin and sesame seeds).
