Is mole sauce from the grocery store any good? Some of the best dishes we’ve eaten in Mexico have been mole dishes, so we tried a few premade mole pastes at home. Mole is a slow simmered sauce, reddish to brown in color, rich and thick, kinda like a smooth gravy with attitude. Do you know how to make mole sauce? Or have you tried a premade mole before?

Mole is a slow simmered sauce, reddish to brown in color, rich and thick, kinda like a smooth gravy with attitude. It takes a little time and sometimes a lot of ingredients to make a traditional mole, and it’s a sauce open to many interpretations. There are all kinds of moles, and whenever we get a chance to sample one, we do.

A key ingredient in a mole are chili peppers. A variety of chili peppers are roasted and ground into a powder or paste. This paste is added to broth or water along with a selection of other ground ingredients. This concoction is stirred and simmered and blended until smooth. Moles vary from region to region, and even house to house in Mexico.
Making a mole sauce from scratch can be laborious, but pre-made mole powders and pastes are readily available for purchase at grocery stores and even online.
Mole sauce can be served with anything. My favorite mole dish is the traditional pairing of chicken and mole with rice, also called chicken mole, or pollo con mole. I love mole in the morning for breakfast. Mole sauce served with fried eggs and potatoes is the best, and of course toast to sop up the extra sauce is a must have.
