Mole
It’s no secret that chocolate makes people happy. As one of the ingredients in mole, you could say that it’s also at the core of Mexican cuisine. But don’t be fooled into thinking that this dish has anything to do with ordinary chocolate desserts to indulge your sweet tooth. Its abundance of nutty, sweetish and slightly spicy flavours is unbeatable, so it comes as no surprise that mole is often referred to as a “monumental delicacy”.
An excellent match for chicken thighs, mole has a starring role whenever it makes its way onto a plate. Chicken breasts are also suitable for this dish.
