Food Facts
Traditional Mexican mole sauce is a heady mixture of chilies, spices, fruit and unsweetened chocolate, often served with chicken or pork. This simplified version has lots of flavor, just like the original, but with a fraction of the ingredients.

revcdub - September 6, 2007 02:44:11 PM PSTPrepared barbecue sauces pulled from the average American supermarket shelf are too sweet -- corn syrup is nearly always the leading ingredient -- and too overpowering for the subtle interplay of lots of ingredients used in great Mexican cooking. Substitute, and this recipe might be a good standby for a quick supper.

wow...
peter - May 3, 2008 01:57:42 PM PSTpeople need to not take life too seriously.
is this a traditional mole? no. should it probably be called something else?? sure, why not. is a traditional mole possible to create from scratch in 15 minutes?? absolutely not.
maybe before judging you should try the recipe. keep an open mind, don't be so judgemental, and you'll live a happier life.3 of 3 found this review helpful.

MOLE - This is not - Tastes like Barbeque - OK Recipe
Adriana S - August 14, 2007 03:03:49 PM PSTMole is the SAUCE, made with chocolate and chilies. The meat used in the dish does not matter. I have seen many types of meats used for this dish.
In Mexico, the tradition was orginally to use Turkey meat. Now chicken is used because it is more readily available. Mole is NOT made with barbeque sauce.
My family thought this was just barbeque. It is "OK" they said.
NOTE: PIPIAN is another type of sauce. Usually pumpkin seeds and chilis are used with other ingredients to make that sauce.2 of 3 found this review helpful.
