Mexican Mole from a Cacao Pod

Mexican mole is a sauce, unlike anything I have ever experienced. Looking at the ingredients list, you may get a bit nervous...but fear not. This is a straightforward process to follow, and the end result is nothing short of incredible.

The recipe I used in this video is not exactly traditional (I had access to only a certain selection of chiles), but otherwise, I did my best at sticking closely to tradition here. Again, this is a truly special sauce and I assure you, should you dare to try this out, it'll result in something you won't ever forget.

Ingredients
1 whole chicken
1 stick butter
2 cups chicken broth
2 dried guajillo chiles
2 dried ancho chiles
3 dried chipotle chiles
1 dinner roll
2-3 corn tortillas
2 tomatoes
6 tomatillos
1 tbsp butter
2 yellow onions
1/2 head garlic
1/3 cup chopped peanuts
1/4 cup raisins
2 tbsp cumin seeds
1 tbsp dried thyme
3 cinnamon sticks
5 whole cloves
6 whole allspice berries
5 oz dark chocolate
1 cup chicken broth
3 tbsp white sugar
Salt (to taste)

1. Remove stems and seeds from all chiles and prepare all ingredients.
2. Wedge butter between skin and meat of chicken.
3. Add chicken to a pot with chopped onion, a handful of salt, and cover with water.
4. Cook at 300 Fahrenheit until chicken is soft and tender, about 2.5 hours.
5. Toast chiles in a dry pan until aromatic and slightly charred.
6. Add 2 cups of chicken broth to deglaze the pan. Then, add all contents to a blender and set aside.
7. Next, add your chopped tortillas and roll them into a dry pan and slightly brown. Add this to the blender and pulse.
8. Peel and chop your tomatillo and tomatoes (I subbed tomato paste and sauce). Add to the dry pan once again and blister a few minutes over medium-high heat. Add to blender and pulse.
9. Add 1 tbsp butter to the pan, then add one chopped onion, peanuts, raisins, cumin seeds, dried thyme, cinnamon sticks, cloves, and allspice berries. Cook until onions are softened.
10. Pick out whole spices (namely cinnamon sticks, cloves, and allspice berries), and add the remaining contents to a blender. Blend until smooth.
11. Pour this mixture into a larger pan over medium heat. Add chopped chocolate, more broth if needed, sugar, and salt.
12. Stir until well combined and reduce to the proper consistency.
13. Pour over chicken, rice, whatever you want! It is INCREDIBLE.
