Preparation

Step 1

Start roasting the peanuts, the garlic and the onions in a pan at medium heat. When grilled take them out of the pan and place ingredients in a plate for later use. In a soup pan place the chiles (remove stems) and the roasted garlic, onion and peanuts, cover with water and cook for 15-20 minutes at medium heat or until chiles are soft. Then place the cooked chiles with the peanuts, the garlic and the onion in the food processor and mix well until getting a smooth but thick consistency. Pour this paste again in the soup pan and add rest of the ingredients, including the peanut butter, the seasonings and the Mexican chocolate cut in chunks. You can add water if needed but not too much since mole sauce needs to be thick and creamy. Stir with a whisk and let sauce to simmer for another 20 minutes until all ingredients incorporate together and the chocolate is melted.
