Why We Eat: Mole

Chef Claudette Zepeda explains molé, the much adored Mexican sauce with a palette of ingredients. Made from a variety of chiles, seeds, and spices, Claudette examines molé’s basic indigenous components and its variations based on what ingredients may have been available via geography, migration, and trade. While some recipes can include large numbers of diverse ingredients, Claudette explains how this pre-Hispanic sauce originating in Puebla or Oaxaca relies on the cook’s instincts and traditions.

Funny how chocolate is just a minor character in this recipe but, when I was a kid, it was the star of the show.

My mother in law makes this particular style of Mole and she pairs with turkey and rice and is somewhat sweet with a little spice she is from Oaxaca. My mom is from Guanajuato and makes it more red in color with more spice and pairs it with chicken and rice. Both are delicious and usually made for special occasions.

[@wongjuan344]

Do either of them not use chocolate? My mother is from Queretaro and was taught a recipe with no chocolate.

We in Guanajuato do not use chocolate in our mole and is more in the spicy side and about the same way it’s made In Querétaro. By the way Querétaro is a beautiful state.

If the mole is good enough, I can just eat that shit with a spoon. If you haven't come across some homemade mole that you would literally just eat by itself, you aint had good mole before... Probably one of the best restaurants in Mexico, Pujol, serves it's most iconic dish "Mole Madre" just as is, a plate with mole on it with three types of homemade tortillas beside it. you're supposed to taste the mole and the depth behind it and truly appreciate the palate of the sauce maker. Chef Olivera's rendition on his mole is that they save a bit of the mother mole from almost the inception of his restaurant. so every plate of mole madre that goes out in his dining room, that mole has 3+ years of date on it! wild.

Clarifications, the Chef mentions peanuts as Chinese, peanuts originated in the Americas originally domesticated in South America by 1492 they were well established as crops all across the hemisphere. She also mentions how the lack of onions and garlic would have made pre-colonization food bland. Plenty of allium species are native to the Americas, spices, herbs and wild plants would have served as wonderful condiments. What we know now in the food landscape is only the iceberg of ingredients uses all across the Americas. In contrast, if the rest of the world removed Native American ingredients what would their food be and taste like?

MB peanuts were cultivated in South America then brought to China via Portuguese traders during the Ming Dynasty, the Chinese love peanuts so much they started growing it. In pre-Columbian, spices like cinnamon, vanilla beans, sesame seeds, mustard and oregano were used for flavouring food, so definitely the food wasn’t bland.

I can truly appreciate your remark about fewer ingredients, less time, and focus on the flavor. Where you lose me is coming across as though the lesser time involved and ingredient based mole can truly compare to the depth of flavor you get with the (granted more arduous) longer more ingredient filled mole. I’m all about keeping it simple most of the time. But some things, to get them at there absolute best, simply takes more time and effort. But for a simpler and quicker sauce, this one does look tasty.

[@isabellagonzalez5695]

Y’all need to chill out in these comments for real. Yes she used a lot of ingredients in her mole, but her point was that you don’t have to do that if you don’t want to. As long as you have the basic ingredients for mole, that’s all you need, and you can add or take out whatever you want. Different people make mole different ways. Also for those of you who are roasting her for saying her name “the white way” most American Latinos do that because that’s how we have been trained to pronounce our last names. She probably does it so that non Spanish speakers will feel more comfortable trying to pronounce her name. This video was really cool, and I love that she knows so much history about our people and cuisine. I love these videos ❤️

Hystercia I just wanted to let you know that I thought I was getting a peanut allergy... I don’t know your story but my doctor thought I was growing a peanut allergy Because I would be in severe severe pain after eating them and then I spoke with the dietitian and she told me to soak my nuts overnight because it releases Pactin (might be saying that wrong) and anyway it’s worked I’m able to eat peanuts only if they’re completely smooth like I have to blend them smooth- crunchy peanut butter oh my God I will end up in the hospital but thought that might help but again maybe won’t help because maybe you have a true allergy-I mean I would just make it without the peanuts Oh and sidenote I’ve tried this with almonds and other real tree nuts It didn’t work and so those are still on my no list which is crazy considering I’ve and eaten those my entire life, but it is what it is Additional sidenote I do this with my beans- making sure to throw away the water that it has been soaking in and I add a pinch of baking soda to make the water more alkaline. - I’ve had luck with the fast boil too. so I’ll boil it really quick Throw out the water and then use it however I need it to be prepared

Mole is, and always will be, my favorite Mexican food.

For years I thought my mom made it from scratch, till I got married and asked for the recipe I was ready to write like 4 pages of intricate ingredients....she goes "no mensa, nomas uso Doña Maria y le pongo mas chocolate y peanut butter, y no le pongas agua, ponle chicken broth" I was done😳😳...kinda mad, and yes it tastes freaking good. 😂😂😂💔💔🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️

[@MAZ_6969]

Munchies: "why we eat mole" Me: "Because it's edible" 🤔🤣

[@trashcantacos]

lmao 😂

[@akiba1972]

Ok within the first 55 seconds you got it not quite right. You cannot change the way someone makes it, it is their culture, just because it has too many steps. That's the way it was done for generations and that's why it's so special

[@treygreypaws3689]

Mole from Mexico is so fucking bomb, more restaurants in the states need it

[@alfredoagustin4062]

My cousin just came back from puebla, and she brought some with her. BOMB💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥

[@sharonhill2602]

I thought she meant the animal 😂

[@xchorro]

Oh Sharon

[@TheRealGuywithoutaMustache]

I think they meant "Molé"

[@thecharlieramirez]

I've always pronounced it "móle".

[@mew2851]

Just Some Guy without a Mustache we meet again

[@rafx2014]

Yeah, no. Accent on th first syllable.

[@gamaliel5584]

No it is mole without accent mark. Mole (spanish) and mole (english) have the same typography but different meanings.

[@gamaliel5584]

In italian, avocado is avocado. Same shit but you will not write it as ávócádó just so anglophones can read it properly. Blasphemy.

[@albertubaldo8652]

Perfectly explained. The balance is the secret .

[@isychia4947]

Mole is my favorite food. It’s magical. Magical af. Yes it looks, uh.... yeah. But if you’re a person who can appreciate the beauty of food, you. Will. Love. It.
