How to Make Gourmet Black Mole Sauce

  1. Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
  2. Add the basic mole paste and cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes to release its aroma.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the tamarind concentrate and chicken broth until the concentrate is fully dissolved.
  4. Add the dissolved tamarind mixture to the saucepan with the mole paste.
  5. Stir in the processed huitlacoche, Mexican oregano, ground cloves, and cayenne pepper (if using).
  6. Bring the sauce to a simmer, then reduce heat to low. Cover and cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld.
  7. Uncover and simmer for 5-7 minutes more, or until the sauce has thickened slightly to your desired consistency.
  8. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve the rich mole sauce generously over your cooked chicken or turkey. Garnish with fresh cilantro or toasted sesame seeds, if desired.
