Mole rojo de Puebla (simplified red mole)
Puebla, Mexico — a more accessible version of the full mole poblano tradition
Mole rojo de Puebla is a red mole simpler than mole poblano — made with guajillo, mulato, and pasilla chiles, tomato, garlic, onion, almonds, raisins, and a small amount of dark chocolate. It does not have the 30-ingredient complexity of mole negro or the full mole poblano, but produces a deeply flavoured red sauce suitable for chicken, turkey, or pork enchiladas. The home cook's mole: achievable in under 2 hours with good technique.
