The art of mole is complex and old. Mole is originally thought to have been created in Mexico’s Oaxaca or Puebla regions. The actual origin of the word can be traced back to the Nahuatl word “mulli,” which translates as “sauce”. It traces a long history to pre-Colomian times and is a dish that has put Mexican cuisine on the world map. There are seven master moles, but in reality, the dish has thousands of variations.
This one is “mole costeño” served with braised short rib , and a sweet potato purée with grasshoppers. We made fresh heirloom corn tortillas to go with this dish, all the plates came back clean and was praised as one of the highlights of the meal. 🥘
