Rick Bayless Beginner's Mole

👋 Hello to all you new subscribers! Today, I’m going to step you through the beginner’s version of mole poblano, one of the most essential dishes in all of Mexico.
Mole, you say? Doesn’t that take all weekend? Well, yes it does. But not this one.
Jammed with a harmonious balance of dried chiles, nuts, seeds, dried fruit and chocolate, this mole poblano can be ready in about an hour’s time, or more if you want to let the pot simmer awhile.
Key to your success here is preparation: gather your ingredients, read the instructions carefully and let’s get to work.
👉🏽 Recipe: www.rickbayles...
What to make with this? I love mole poblano over grilled chicken or roasted turkey breast. I especially love it ladled over enchiladas.

[@manuelleal9336]

I am Mexican and I really enjoy the enthusiasm that you have when explain the recipes, for the other side you are very accurate with the original ingredients, flavors and procedures. Thank you very much!

[@billyeveryteen7328]

I've mentioned this in a few of Rick's videos, but as someone from a Mexican family, I love his passion and commitment to authentic and traditional Mexican food. In fact, his commitment to authenticity is better than most Mexicans I know. I don't know anyone who makes mole from scratch; most people use the Doña Maria mole base. And you can tell, because their drinkware/glassware cabinets will be mostly made up of the reused jars that have been cleaned and repurposed as drinking glasses.

[@jennoscura2381]

Ah yes Doña Maria. Mi mama would use Doña Maria and add chocolate Ibarra and peanut butter. I think I am the only one in my imitate family that makes mole from scratch.

[@adrianachavez9864]

Hahahaha! You speak the truth about the repurposed Doña Maria cups. I’m guilty! Lol..

[@BOOKKAT74]

Oh yes. I’m n Canada and even my cupboards have Doña Maria glasses in them.

[@mercster]

Yes I find Rick very interesting, because lots of chefs focus on "haute cuisine" like French or whatever, but he fell in love with Mexican cuisine and made an entire career out of it... I don't know much about Mexican food, but I always enjoy watching Rick cook, he seems like a swell guy.

[@JustAViewer11]

I use to be guilty of that when I was 18-21 . I haven’t had Mole in ages . And I’m 44 now 😂

[@donnybeal2135]

Mexican has to be one of the best types of cuisine in the world. And even better that it's authentic

[@BRAVITS]

It literally is... It's ranked top 5 Worldwide

[@michelesoto5919]

Agreed! And my husband is 1/2 Italian!

[@Hullj]

Growing up as a white girl in Akron Ohio I had very limited resources for foods that involved Mexican spices. Think Taco Bell and cheap local taquerias. In the early '80s I had friends who found a new restaurant that actually cooked Mexican cuisine rather than American taqueria food and they made me go there. There was this interesting thing on the menu called mole so I decided to order it. It was world-changing. It was so complex and so rich and just it wasn't a cacophony of of flavors because they all went together it was a symphony of flavors. That was at a restaurant in Cleveland called Lopez y Gonzalez. Thank you Rick.

[@willsullivan3]

I, too, had epiphanies such as yours...and, I remember not being able to find fresh chiles at the grocery store. No cilantro. Only Ortega fried corn tortillas in a box. Nothing even remotely approaching real salsa in a jar. Nopales? Forget it. Even in the '90s, when I started seeing Rick on TV, many of his ingredients were often hard to obtain. In 2001, I traveled to Chicago on business simply to eat at Frontera Grill, or maybe Topolobampo--braving an early March blizzard to do so; I could have gone to New Orleans, instead--delightful weather in early March--because I was given the option. My professional cohort shook their heads; they did not understand in the least. But it was Chicago, and Rick, or nothing, for me. I ate at Frontera twice, met Rick, who joined us at table, and graciously signed and presented me with his first cookbook, when he heard my tale. I've made a few kinds of moles over the years and always think of Rick hugely fondly, remembering his authentic graciousness, when I do. Well, I think of him more often than that--everytime I watch and re-watch him on KZbin...or I make salsa mexicana (constantly), for that matter. Which is far, far more frequently than I think fondly of various family members...

[@texasstadium]

Nice comment. I grew up in Akron as well and we were a poor family with so-so food. Joined the military after high school (1966) and one of my shipmates suggested we stop at Taco Bell for Tacos. I asked what is a taco? Truly did not know. And, of course, I now live in the Southwest. Great Mexican restaurants offering regional styles of Mexican cusine. Almost heaven.

[@michelesoto5919]

Same but in Vermont and only have taco bell & a so so tequila food joint! I do the best I can making everything from scratch!

[@jonahorlofsky5999]

Made this dish today, and poured it over some chicken thighs and some farro on the side. Absolutely outstanding. Followed the recipe to a T. What was so cool about making a mole is that I got to taste it every step of the way. I tasted the pepper puree; the nut and raisin blend; I tasted the sauce before the frying and thickening and after. I got a real feel for what each step does.

[@rickbayless]

Outstanding! That’s the best way to learn!!

[@theplayerformerlyknownasmo3711]

I have been watching you since I was 5 watching PBS in Chicago. You're one of the reasons I work in food now and love cooking. As a Mexican kid growing up here it was nice to see my culture showing up on TV in a positive light and you always provided that. Thank you.

I love mole. I got hooked on it when I was in Mexico in 1964. My family spent six months in Mexico. I just bought some eggplant from my farmers' market. I may just have to do some cooking. Thank you.

[@Roblolord]

Looked up simple mole recipes from scratch, saw this, and went to the store immediately and made it. Incredibly amazingly insanely delicious. Words can’t even describe. One day I will work up the courage to make the Oaxacan black mole!

[@jwm4ever]

Thanks for your review. Now I can't wait to make it. I just made my first Mole using the Dona Maria, plus added Chilli and spices. I almost want to add some of these extra spices

[@terryt.1643]

Thanks also for your review. I think I will try to make this, too. I hope that it is not too spicy for me. I turned 70 and all of a sudden couldn’t take spicy. 😭

[@normasouza1086]

My 93 year old aunt had my mom and I make mole using her recipe when we stayed visited her in this beautiful and primitive village. It was outside on clay pot over open fire. We spent the entire day - and yes, ate it the next day. We didn’t even want to compliment it with chicken. It was divine all by itself. Thank you Chef. Love your passion.

Wow, Carlos. I think you're the first member to cook something and report back to us. Thank you. How did it go?

[@carlosdelagarza8983]

@@rickbayless It went well (quite easy, in fact), and the mole already tastes delicious on a slice of bread, but I would caution other members to heed your recommendation to have a spatter screen handy, and I would add: wear something inexpensive (like an apron), because I am not sure the mole spots on my shirt are leaving anytime soon. Nonetheless, it was fun and well worth the effort. This is definitely what I would now consider a foundational sauce for me. Thanks, again.

[@Rikkcas]

You were almost at the end and I was thinking “ what about the chocolate?” I’m glad you caught that too. But you taught me that this mole is more about the spices and the patient stirring and timing of all the flavors. Before this video I always thought it was all about the chocolate. The chocolate seems to be the cream on the top that marries it all together. Excellent job! Looks mouth watering 👍🏼😋

[@a_rigid_designator]

I so appreciate Rick's genuine thoughtfulness for vegans, never a whiff of condescension when talking about how to veganize things! It's a breath of fresh air.

[@erichitchens6749]

Made this today, absolutely delicious! I let mine simmer for about 3 hours. The final product was very complex.

[@Zulma91]

Made this and it was SO good. It’s only me and my partner, so it lasted a whole week. And you better believe I ate it every single day and never got tired of it!

[@speeedracerx]

My wife's grandmother in Mexico spends 2 days making mole for us to bring home every time we visit. It truly is a dish from the gods. Thank you so much for this much simpler method! Now we can make it ourselves when our supply runs out😁

[@MrCheveberto123]

Love how everything he says about this poblano mole is accurate… even when he said that mole is not a chocolate sauce. Chocolate is one ingredient out of a possible 30-50 ingredients that can make a great mole. So thank u for saying that. Ps The mole from Oaxaca is what all moles aspire to be. Because ultimately Oaxaca is the birthplace of mole. This recipe still looks very legit ❤

[@grievousangelic]

There are a few dozen Mexican restaurants here in North Alabama, and one that I know of serves mole. It's right around the corner from the house! They do make it in-house, and it's delectable. They serve it over broiled chicken legs with rice and corn tortillas (also homemade). It's beyond divine. We have several Mexican grocery stores in town, so getting the ingredients isn't a problem. I'm looking forward to tackling this. I was nearly drooling the whole video. I love your cooking and instruction techniques, too. Vaya con Dios!

[@a.k.salazr]

Thank you for providing vegan and vegetarian ideas when making mole. I love making mole, but I also love trying other people's recipes and perfect mine. For those of you who would prefer to use something else other than sugar. I personally use pitted dates in the blended mixture. They are naturally sweet full of fiber. I find it works well with mole.

Thanks for the tip! I would have never thought of using dates. Thanks! 😊

Rick, I have been watching your videos for years and have been frustrated and happy watching them. Frustrated in knowing your so talented to be just throwing out a video to happy when you do them with your daughter. This video. Is EPIC! To make mole into a regular dish done so shortly instead of the long epic, two/three day dish, is incredible.. This video is a Master class. It may be a beginner's mole but it is so much more. It can be enjoyed and cherished and admired much more frequently. I bow and clap in appreciation to this video. Those that make this,,, will then think,, "so, your saying, there can be more to this?". Oh yeah. Thank you Rick.

[@jaclyngrau4516]

Would pepitas work as a good substitution for the almonds, due to a nut allergy? This beginners mole is something I can totally make! Thank you Chef for all that you've done and are doing. I will be eternally grateful for your Kitchen Hangouts. They were a bright light during the start of this pandemic.

[@richmondriddle3405]

Rick, you are one of my culinary heroes

[@Null_76]

TRY THIS RECIPE! I just made this with a couple minor substitutions. I decided to use this sauce as a start off point for a Guisado de Puerco. I slowly simmered big chunks of pork shoulder (fried in lard first) in this sauce for hours. On top of the sugar and salt, I also found it necessary to add acid in the form of lime juice. Cooking meat in it seemed to make the sauce a bit flat, hence the acid. Served simply with Arroz Amarillio (not from a box), chopped white onion, jalapeno, radish and cilantro. It is so good. This is a keeper.

Man, you’re a saint. I LOVE this version!

[@cmac1100]

It is said that it was created in the a Convent by Sister Andrea de la Asunción. According to what they say in the convent, the nun created the mole with divine inspiration. The aroma that arose when grinding the ingredients and preparing it spread throughout the place and was so incredible that the mother superior broke her vow of silence when exclaiming: "Sister, what a good mole!" The other nuns laughed and corrected the mother saying: "it is said muele." On the other hand, they say that the mole was created by accident at a dinner that was going to be made to the bishop. Hours before the banquet - was going to store some chilies and ingredients in the cupboard, but he inadvertently tripped into the pot where the turkey (pavo) was cooked (which was going to be served at dinner) and that's how the mixture was created.

Mole is the nahuatl word for sauce. Catholic sisters did evolve mole we know today. But the original mole was already in existence for while. It's origin is not a single point.

Better add apples and banana, but the big one in Mexico we call it platano macho, it comes out fruity, the mango may loosen your stomach, you can also add dehydrated fruit and it comes out deliciousand you should also brown them with a few pieces of onion and a fried torilla that thickens the moleYou can watch the video of Marc Weins Oaxacan Mole and you will see a Mexican cook how she prepares it from scratch
