Mole Sauce

Trader Joe's discontinued the Mole Sauce I've been using, and I have not found any other pre made mole sauce that I like, so I need to make my own. In general I have found that Mole takes a long time to prepare, and requires hard to find ingredients. I have come up with this simple version that is acceptable.

Mole Sauce

  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves Garlic, chopped
  • 3 Tbsp. Oil
  • 4 Tbsp. Sugar
  • 3 Tbsp Flour
  • 1 tsp. Salt
  • 2 tsp. Cinnamon
  • 4 tsp. Chili powder
  • 1 tsp. Ground cumin
  • 2 tsp oregano
  • 1 28 oz can tomatoes
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 3 oz. Unsweetened baking chocolate

Blend flour, sugar, & spices.

Saute onion & garlic in oil until translucent.

Add spice mixture to onion mixture and cook one minute

Add Broth and tomatoes

Bring to boil

Add chocolate stir until chocolate melts.

Simmer 5 minutes stirring frequently.
