Tips:
- Use dried ancho, guajillo, and pasilla chiles for the best flavor. If you can't find these chiles, you can substitute a blend of other dried chiles, such as chipotle, mulato, and New Mexico chiles.
- Toast the chiles in a dry skillet over medium heat until they are fragrant and slightly darkened. This will help to bring out their flavor.
- Soak the chiles in hot water for at least 30 minutes, or until they are柔らかいy. This will help to soften them and make them easier to blend.
- If you don't have a blender, you can use a food processor to make the mole sauce. However, a blender will give you a smoother sauce.
- Don't skip the step of simmering the mole sauce for at least 30 minutes. This will help to develop the flavors and thicken the sauce.
- Serve the mole sauce with chicken, pork, or tofu. You can also use it as a dipping sauce for chips or vegetables.
