How To Make Mole Sauce From Scratch | Homemade Dona Maria Style Chicken Mole

[@Inga4020]

Mexican food has always been my hands down, favorite food. But I have been too timid to try making an authentic mole', but you have encouraged me to give it a go with this video. Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful gift with us here. Every dish you make that I have tried has turned out sooooo good.

[@l.a.lifting1527]

I tried this recipe today and it was really tasty! Really rich, creamy and easy to make!! No need for sugar if you use semisweet chocolate instead of bitterswee

[@franciegarneau1651]

I love mole! My sister-in-law would make a huge batch of the sauce and put 3 or 4 cut up chickens in it and would cook the chicken until it was done.The mole flavor permeated the chicken and was soo good. I don't make my own sauce, but I do cook chicken pieces in the mole for that intense taste. This looks wonderful, but at my age and cooking for only one, I will not go to the trouble. I love watching your videos. They bring back memories of spending time at my in-laws homes and the wonderful aromas and food generated in their kitchens.

Omg who doesn’t like mole I’m from Hawaii and Mexican peoples didn’t make it here since 1995 but Puerto Ricans have been here since plantation days before Hawaii even became a part of America.but when I tried it I was blown away it’s like something slapped my mouth with crazy flavor I was like I gotta have this in my life

[@MilesTHD]

My grandma used to make mole and watching this reminds me of the amazing aroma in her kitchen. I'll be trying this recipe this week 👍

[@TexasWreckShop]

The best kind of memories. Howd the recipe turn out?

@@TexasWreckShop It really is. My grandmother used to cook all the time, and now she’s gone :(

I love Mexican food grew up in Chicago Illinois ( I am 59 ) and there was a neighbor that Made The best mole I ever had her cooking was out of this world I think your recipes are close to her Thank you for putting out these videos

I tried this recipe yesterday and my hubby LOVED it! He's Mexican and gave it 2 thumbs up! I also love mole and it was so yummy! I used Abuelita chocolate tablets. I didn't have ground clove and only had whole cloves so I used my "pilon" to grind it up. Also used raisins since I didn't have prunes. Your recipe states 6-7 cups of chicken broth but I wasn't sure if this was including the broth you used for ur rice so I ended up using 7 cups of broth for the mole only. After about a 40 min simmer, I notice it was still a bit watery so I added bit of flour with water to thicken it up which it did perfectly and it did not change the flavor.

[@bettysauceda505]

My husband made mole for the family using your recipe. He used peanut butter and Mexican chocolate because that is what his mother used to use. I have never like mole but this was delicious! My brother in-law who is very picky said that it was the best mole he has ever tasted. Thank you for posting the recipe, this will be a family favorite for years to come.

[@susanbuentello2656]

One of your San Antonio followers here-thanks for the Mi Tierra shoutout. I’ve never made mole sauce before; I always just use Doña Maria base in the jar. You’ve convinced me to make the effort though!

[@Nadia_956Villarreal]

Susan Buentello i live in the RGV Rio Grande Valley,Mission.its waaaay south of SanAntonio njt when im going to S. A. Mi Tierra is a Definete Stop for us to eat! Love it there& yes your rignti also have used Dona Maria but now im So excited to do a From Scratch Mole Sauce too

[@willpower62]

I’m from Austin. I do like Mi Tierra but the wait can be too long. When in a rush, I go to Pico de Gallo across the freeway from Mi Tierra by the UTSA campus. Same food and menu.

That's the brand I always use!

Yall are bringing up my childhood memories growong up in SA.

[@ginarojas6167]

Love mi tierra! I'll have to ask for mole next time I go

[@PinkTigger33]

You could be my new best friend. Mole sauce is my favorite Mexican sauce of all time. You just showed me how to make it in my own kitchen. Girl, I love you for this!

[@dexterechiverri6631]

Always clear and concise. Very down to earth, yet articulate. Oh, and great food too!

I made this for the first time this past week and my husband went crazy over it....it was SO GOOD!!!! Thank you for the recipe!!!

[@vivb4118]

My late dad used to make mole all the time, it was my absolute favorite, I really want to try making this!

[@swtmuzik1]

I just want to give you a huge hug right now! I LOVE molé, but I've been unable to eat it in many years because most everyone makes it with peanut butter! Since i hit my 40's I developed a high intolerance to peanuts. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU , for this peanut free recipe! I'm literally crying with excitement to try making this! Because of you, I make the most delicious tortillas too!

Yay! I am so glad this works for you! 🙌🙏😊

[@cornecobbe]

this has given me the confidence to try making my own mole - i always thought it would be long and complicated, but this is absolutely doable. mole is one of my absolute favorite things in the world, so this is very very exciting! also watching this made me so hungry, that looks so good 🤤

[@CatalinaMartinez1981]

I can do this!! I thought making mole from scratch would be a difficult task. You make it look easy, and I think I have most ingredients on hand. I definitely will make mole. Thank you so much.

[@damned_1]

Great ideas. For the chocolate our familia always uses Ibarra!! We don’t like our mole too sweet, but Ibarra is delicious in mole! 😍

[@easein]

Bless you. I made homemade mole a few years ago and loved it. Lost the recipe, and the couple of others I tried were not as good. Had mole out of the jar a couple of days ago and dreamed of the real thing. This looks like it. Thanks and love your channel.

[@rmknicks]

I LOVE MOLE! The end.

I just made your Mole recipe yesterday - it was such a big hit at my house! Thank you!

[@dollygutz8418]

Wow ms G Mama, you are amazing, the first friendly Mole recipe I watch, ive been scared to ever make mole , this is just perfect

[@pashiebee8646]

Have you ever thought about getting a hand crank food mill? It makes sieving so much faster and easier. Only about 25 bucks. I'm going to have to try my hand at this. This is one of the few Mexican dishes I've never tried, but it always looks and smells fantastic! Thanks for sharing!

[@SrJohnnyCat]

I made this recipe today and I was IMPRESSED at how easy it actually is to make by scratch. I never had mole before (I’m Mexican but I was a picky eater as a kid) and I’m so mad I’ve been missing out on this. 😂 This was so good, my sister enjoyed this recipe so much so this will be my go-to recipe. Thank u! ☺️💕✨

Always wanted to learn how to make it from scratch. Thanks to your video I was able to make it and it came out so delicious. No more store bought Mole. This was better.

[@afamasaga8226]

Made it last night ! Doubled the recipe it came out so delicious!!! Barely had any left

[@redbirdsrising]

This gringo appreciates this amazing recipe. I love to cook Mexican food but I’ve always been intimidated by Molé. Even my Mexican mother in law who makes the worlds beat Posole won’t do it. Well, I did this one today step for step. Except I used peanut butter and Abuelita’s chocolate. Simmered it at the end with diced grilled chicken breast. Turned out AMAZING! Now my wife is bragging on social media. THANK YOU!

[@masonwesley9709]

Oh my gosh! A few years ago, I worked in San Antonio for about 2 weeks. & my boys and I literally ate at MI Tierra 10 times. My first time having authentic Mexican and I've been obsessed ever since! 10/10 would recommend

Mmm I Love mole. If I never made a recipe before I usually use everything whatever the cook makes. I also Love both raisins and prunes. I look forward to making your mole sauce. The mole looks both perfect and tasty. Enjoy your evening.

[@dannytoledo9723]

I 'm enjoying this so much....my mother' s kitchen comes to mind, thank you for sharing

[@iamdayana]

I love your approach to this without the abuelita chocolate. Growing up my mom used Abuelita for her mole but honestly I have always wanted to try to make it without soo much sugar. Thank you! Do you know how to make green mole?? I have been bingeing on your recipes lately lol but I haven’t found one for the green one. I tried to follow another recipe on YT for it but it was sooo complicated and it tasted off of what I’m used to. They added parsley and I trusted them 😂😖

[@znycelondon5313]

Looks very tasty.....what do you do with the tortillas after charring.......it did not tell? 🌹

[@svpremefrank8503]

The way I serve this is to put rice first then the chicken on top and finally the mole. The mole compliments the rice really well

[@monical.3892]

Yay from SA! I can relate so much with your cooking because bullion is everything lol I absolutely always look for your channel first when looking up any recipe

This is such a pretty sauce-and it looks delicious!

As a black dude who never grew up with a mexican mother or grandmother cooking I'm trying to imagine how difficult this dish mustve been especially in the old old days with no food processor, blender, siv, stove top, oven ext. Food really brings the family together and when I first tried Mole sauce few years ago, 28 years old now, I was immediately obsessed.

Definitely need some of this!! Looks delicious!! Love your videos!!

I followed your recipe to the letter. The result was fantastic 👏 👌 Thank you!

[@blackmarya]

I've been wanting to make this for years but have never been able to get fresh tomatillos in the UK. But now I have discovered we have a small fruit from the same species called Physalis that taste just the same! and I can find them everywhere! Like a little crunchy tart tomato. So if your from Europe or other countries look for physalis people! 💜😊

[@Vale-dh1tn]

I saw this video last night, knew I had all of the ingredients and made it today!!! I don’t like mole (I’m Colombian), I made it for my husband (He’s Mexican) and he said it was absolutely delicious! Yay! I did a few things different. I roasted the chiles on my comal/griddle, as well as the onions, garlic, green tomatoes and roma tomatoes. I don’t have ground clove or cinnamon. I only have them whole. So I toasted the whole gloves and pieces of whole cinnamon on the comal very quickly and then just ground them up along with the oregano with my mortar and pestle. I made my usual Mexican rice and I baked the chicken breasts just like you did. The only things hubby said was that he would like it a little spicier next time and that he rather have the chicken boiled than baked because he says the breasts have more flavor when boiled. So that’s the only thing I’ll do different next time. Anyway, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS RECIPE!!! I’ve tried other mole recipes and yours is by far the easiest to make and according to my husband, the most delicious.

[@Vale-dh1tn]

Do you have any ideas on how I could make it spicier for him next time?

You can add some serrano peppers or more chipotle peppers. Btw your mole sounds absolutely wonderful! 🙌👍

I use boneless chicken thighs and cook them in the sauce until they shred and lay that on a bed of Mexican rice good great with a couple of flour or corn tortillas

[@pandorafox3944]

Holy cow. This looks like my Grandma's recipe! She didn't use the Chipotle tho... She would fry the tortillas and bolios in lard. And roast things on the comal. Your way seems alot easier.
