👋 Hello to all you new subscribers! Today, I’m going to step you through the beginner’s version of mole poblano, one of the most essential dishes in all of Mexico.
Mole, you say? Doesn’t that take all weekend? Well, yes it does. But not this one.
Jammed with a harmonious balance of dried chiles, nuts, seeds, dried fruit and chocolate, this mole poblano can be ready in about an hour’s time, or more if you want to let the pot simmer awhile.
Key to your success here is preparation: gather your ingredients, read the instructions carefully and let’s get to work.
👉🏽 Recipe: www.rickbayless.com/recipe/be...
What to make with this? I love mole poblano over grilled chicken or roasted turkey breast. I especially love it ladled over enchiladas.

I've mentioned this in a few of Rick's videos, but as someone from a Mexican family, I love his passion and commitment to authentic and traditional Mexican food. In fact, his commitment to authenticity is better than most Mexicans I know. I don't know anyone who makes mole from scratch; most people use the Doña Maria mole base. And you can tell, because their drinkware/glassware cabinets will be mostly made up of the reused jars that have been cleaned and repurposed as drinking glasses.

@jennoscura2381 Год назад

Ah yes Doña Maria. Mi mama would use Doña Maria and add chocolate Ibarra and peanut butter. I think I am the only one in my imitate family that makes mole from scratch.

@adrianachavez9864 Год назад

Hahahaha! You speak the truth about the repurposed Doña Maria cups. I’m guilty! Lol..

Yes I find Rick very interesting, because lots of chefs focus on "haute cuisine" like French or whatever, but he fell in love with Mexican cuisine and made an entire career out of it... I don't know much about Mexican food, but I always enjoy watching Rick cook, he seems like a swell guy.

Growing up as a white girl in Akron Ohio I had very limited resources for foods that involved Mexican spices. Think Taco Bell and cheap local taquerias. In the early '80s I had friends who found a new restaurant that actually cooked Mexican cuisine rather than American taqueria food and they made me go there. There was this interesting thing on the menu called mole so I decided to order it. It was world-changing. It was so complex and so rich and just it wasn't a cacophony of of flavors because they all went together it was a symphony of flavors. That was at a restaurant in Cleveland called Lopez y Gonzalez. Thank you Rick.

@willsullivan3 2 года назад

I, too, had epiphanies such as yours...and, I remember not being able to find fresh chiles at the grocery store. No cilantro. Only Ortega fried corn tortillas in a box. Nothing even remotely approaching real salsa in a jar. Nopales? Forget it. Even in the '90s, when I started seeing Rick on TV, many of his ingredients were often hard to obtain. In 2001, I traveled to Chicago on business simply to eat at Frontera Grill, or maybe Topolobampo--braving an early March blizzard to do so; I could have gone to New Orleans, instead--delightful weather in early March--because I was given the option. My professional cohort shook their heads; they did not understand in the least. But it was Chicago, and Rick, or nothing, for me. I ate at Frontera twice, met Rick, who joined us at table, and graciously signed and presented me with his first cookbook, when he heard my tale. I've made a few kinds of moles over the years and always think of Rick hugely fondly, remembering his authentic graciousness, when I do. Well, I think of him more often than that--everytime I watch and re-watch him on RU-vid...or I make salsa mexicana (constantly), for that matter. Which is far, far more frequently than I think fondly of various family members...

@texasstadium 9 месяцев назад

Nice comment. I grew up in Akron as well and we were a poor family with so-so food. Joined the military after high school (1966) and one of my shipmates suggested we stop at Taco Bell for Tacos. I asked what is a taco? Truly did not know. And, of course, I now live in the Southwest. Great Mexican restaurants offering regional styles of Mexican cusine. Almost heaven.

Made this dish today, and poured it over some chicken thighs and some farro on the side. Absolutely outstanding. Followed the recipe to a T. What was so cool about making a mole is that I got to taste it every step of the way. I tasted the pepper puree; the nut and raisin blend; I tasted the sauce before the frying and thickening and after. I got a real feel for what each step does.

You were almost at the end and I was thinking “ what about the chocolate?” I’m glad you caught that too. But you taught me that this mole is more about the spices and the patient stirring and timing of all the flavors. Before this video I always thought it was all about the chocolate. The chocolate seems to be the cream on the top that marries it all together. Excellent job! Looks mouth watering 👍🏼😋

@superchimp2888 2 года назад

Rick, I have been watching your videos for years and have been frustrated and happy watching them. Frustrated in knowing your so talented to be just throwing out a video to happy when you do them with your daughter. This video. Is EPIC! To make mole into a regular dish done so shortly instead of the long epic, two/three day dish, is incredible.. This video is a Master class. It may be a beginner's mole but it is so much more. It can be enjoyed and cherished and admired much more frequently. I bow and clap in appreciation to this video. Those that make this,,, will then think,, "so, your saying, there can be more to this?". Oh yeah. Thank you Rick.

@@rickbayless It went well (quite easy, in fact), and the mole already tastes delicious on a slice of bread, but I would caution other members to heed your recommendation to have a spatter screen handy, and I would add: wear something inexpensive (like an apron), because I am not sure the mole spots on my shirt are leaving anytime soon. Nonetheless, it was fun and well worth the effort. This is definitely what I would now consider a foundational sauce for me. Thanks, again.

@grievousangelic Год назад

There are a few dozen Mexican restaurants here in North Alabama, and one that I know of serves mole. It's right around the corner from the house! They do make it in-house, and it's delectable. They serve it over broiled chicken legs with rice and corn tortillas (also homemade). It's beyond divine. We have several Mexican grocery stores in town, so getting the ingredients isn't a problem. I'm looking forward to tackling this. I was nearly drooling the whole video. I love your cooking and instruction techniques, too. Vaya con Dios!

Thank you for providing vegan and vegetarian ideas when making mole. I love making mole, but I also love trying other people's recipes and perfect mine. For those of you who would prefer to use something else other than sugar. I personally use pitted dates in the blended mixture. They are naturally sweet full of fiber. I find it works well with mole.

@Null_76 2 месяца назад

TRY THIS RECIPE! I just made this with a couple minor substitutions. I decided to use this sauce as a start off point for a Guisado de Puerco. I slowly simmered big chunks of pork shoulder (fried in lard first) in this sauce for hours. On top of the sugar and salt, I also found it necessary to add acid in the form of lime juice. Cooking meat in it seemed to make the sauce a bit flat, hence the acid. Served simply with Arroz Amarillio (not from a box), chopped white onion, jalapeno, radish and cilantro. It is so good. This is a keeper.

I've never had mole because I am deathly allergic to nuts. But I have always wanted to know what the experience is like. I can eat seeds and I can eat peanuts because they are not tree nuts. My other problem is I cannot source any pasilla, ancho, or Hatch chiles in Japan and customs always confiscates any dried or jarred chiles containing seeds that I try to bring in. I'll keep trying to put everything together and make it one day. I make pork green chile with canned chiles that my friends bring when they come here to ski but the flavor is always lacking. I found one native chile, himo togarashi (rope chiles) that kind of enhance the flavor of the canned chiles but the one farmer I got them from doesn't grow them anymore and I don't know where to get seeds. Oh well, Japanese food is great too but Mexican has always been my favorite.
