How to Make Mole Negro Dark Mole
- Toast the chiles, cumin, coriander, and sesame seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat until fragrant (about 5 minutes).
- In a blender, combine the toasted spices, garlic, onion, tomatoes, oregano, thyme, cinnamon, cloves, and chocolate. Add enough chicken broth to create a smooth paste.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Sauté the finely chopped onion until softened (about 5 minutes).
- Add the blended spice paste to the pot and cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring frequently, until the mixture has thickened slightly.
- Stir in the chicken broth, and bring the sauce to a simmer. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for at least 45 minutes, or up to an hour, stirring occasionally.
- Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. If the sauce is too thick, add more chicken broth; if it's too thin, simmer uncovered for longer.
- Serve your Mole Negro sauce generously over roasted, grilled, or pan-fried chicken. Garnish with fresh cilantro and sesame seeds (optional).
