Mole sauce

I recently purchased both Mole Negro and Mole Coloradito. Many mole recipes include adding chocolate. Do you recommend that with these products?

Hi Susan - These two mole pastes from El Sabor de Oaxaca don't include chocolate or cocoa, as not all authentic mole sauces include do. I would try the paste (diluted with some water or stock) without any additions first. It is extremely flavorful and we find it tastes as close to what we had in Oaxaca as anything we've found. Good luck and enjoy! Best, Lynn C.
