Mole Poblano

A rich and deeply flavoured classic of Mexican cuisine, Mole Poblano is a celebration of bold ingredients and time-honoured techniques. Combining a complex blend of dried chillies, warming spices, nuts, seeds and a hint of chocolate, this iconic sauce delivers a perfectly balanced profile of smoky, sweet and savoury notes. Traditionally slow-cooked to develop its depth, it’s most often served with tender meat and finished with a sprinkle of sesame seeds.
