Mole is a rich and complex Mexican sauce made from various ingredients, including chili peppers, chocolate, spices, and sometimes even fruit. It's traditionally served warm or hot and is often used as a sauce for dishes like chicken, turkey, or enchiladas. The heat helps to bring out the flavors and aromas of the sauce. However, the specific temperature at which it's served may vary depending on personal preferences and the dish it accompanies.

Ingredients

3 dried chipotle chiles, stemmed and seeded
2 dried guajillo chiles, stemmed and seeded
2 dried ancho chiles, stemmed and seeded
2 ½ cups low-sodium chicken stock
2 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup white onion, chopped
½ poblano pepper, diced
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon cinnamon
5 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoon all-purpose flour
¼ cup dark chocolate chips
3 tablespoon almond butter
1 tablespoon tomato paste
½ teaspoon sea salt

Preparation

Toast chipotle, guajillo, and ancho chiles in a dry pan over medium heat, stirring constantly, until warm and aromatic, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a blender.
Heat 2 cups chicken broth in a saucepan until it begins to simmer, about 5 minutes. Pour broth into the blender with mushrooms. Puree until smooth.
Heat olive oil in large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion, poblano pepper, oregano, cumin cinnamon and garlic and cook for about 10 minutes or until onion is tender, stirring occasionally.
