More Info

The word mole (pronounced mo-lay) translates as 'mixture' or 'sauce' - there are many different varieties, but mole poblano, which hails from Puebla in central Mexico, is perhaps the best known and considered Mexico's national dish. It famously contains xocolatl or chocolate which contributes to its rich, dark colour as well as its unique and very delicious flavour!

This recipe is quite simply OUTSTANDING. I sent for this spice mix as I liked the way the words sound out loud. I know, unconventional. But seriously, for a dish that is so easy to concoct, it is truly wonderful. It took me about 10 minutes to gather and prep the ingredients and then into a low oven at 110 degrees for 4 hours. Suffice to say, I ate it 3 hours ago and I'm back on line to order more sachets. Those people at The Spicery know what they're doing ...

This week I went rogue with the Mole Poblano mix. I decided to use it with beef short ribs. I followed the same method but left out the raisins. Absolutely awesome. You get the most delicious kind of 'gravy' that has warmth to it.
