El Mole: The Complete Sauce System
I
Origin
Mole — from the Nahuatl molli, meaning sauce — is the defining achievement of Mexican cooking. There is not one mole but a complete system of sauces united by the technique of frying a paste before adding liquid. Diana Kennedy identifies seven distinct Oaxacan moles and dozens of regional variations across Mexico. Each represents a distinct technical and flavour tradition.
