In Mexico there is a fantastic dish called mole, a thick, homogeneous sauce with complex flavors. The word mole actually refers to a number of different sauces or dishes made with many different ingredients, such as chocolate, nuts and spices, among which pepper, cumin, allspice, cinnamon, coriander and cloves. The most common way to consume mole is over chicken, but at least one legend indicates that the sauce was traditionally served with turkey. Because of the labor-intensive nature of mole, when prepared at home it is most often made in large batches on special occasions, such as religious holidays, birthdays or weddings.

The Mexican singer Lila Downs gives a recipe for this sauce in one of her songs, “La Cumbia del Mole”.

se Muele También El Pan
se Muele La Almendra Seca
se Muele El Chile Y
también La Sal
se Muele Ese Chocolate
se Muele La Canela
se Muele Pimienta Y Clavo
se Muele La Molendera
