Mole Sauce
Mole sauce is truly wonderful. It’s an ideal incorporation of cocoa into savory cuisine.
The only tricky thing about mole, is that there are so many different variations, it’s hard to pin down the mediocre from the excellent.
The first way to tell good mole is the sweetness. The best mole shouldn’t be sweet at all, the worst mole basically tastes like chocolate sauce.
Outside of sweetness, you’re looking for a blend between the raw cocoa taste–the bitterness–with the salty/spicy taste of the other peppers and chiles used in the sauce or the dish. Cocoa complements hot pepper, but it should not overpower the mexican flavor.
