absolutely. the only reason I didn't was that I thought we weren't suppose to have external links.
Oh. wait, maybe that is just for the recipes thread.
Any additions or modifications or suggestions are welcome.
Normally I don't eat chili. (don't like spicy stuff) but I adore molé.
oh no. the recipe I posted is not a molé.
how about one of these?
This vegan Sweet Potato-Black Bean Mole Stew is perfect for a winter's night, especially if you're feeling under the weather.

External recipe links can be posted in the Recipe section under the given name. However, it's fine just to post a link in the food section as long as the thread doesn't end up with tons of links.
FYI there is a huge thread in this section called Food blogs which contain dozens of recipes. We just try to avoid multiple/duplicate threads so
that it's easier to find posts/recipes without members having to trudge through the same style of posts.
The mole style sauce that I make is more like the 3rd link. The MB's recipe is more like a soup and doesn't have enough spices.
I don't follow a specific recipe and usually add a list of ingredients which I find give a perfect, spicy result without a pungent taste. The sauce is also very thick and the balance between the beans and sweet potatoes is just right.
So, I make a basic bean stew using homemade cooked black beans.
1 medium or large sweet potato.
1 chopped onion
Garlic to taste (I prefer granulated garlic)
Vegetable stock plus Marmite (yeast extract)
Fresh bay leaves (2-3)
1 small tin of chopped tomatoes
1 tbs tomato puree
Salt to taste
Mole
Unsweetened smooth peanut butter (approx 1-2 tbs)
freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 tsp of dark cacao (for a deeper mole double the amount)
1 tsp pumpkin spice
2 tsp granulated onions
2 tsp-1 tbs of ground coriander
2-3 tsp smoked paprika
2- 3 tsp Ancho paste
1 tsp chipotle (either paste or powder)
2 tsp oregano
1 tsp thyme
1 tsp mixed seasoning (either Ms Dash or Aldi's)
Sometimes I add a very small cup or 3 tbs of strong coffee (not essentiel)
1 tbs of ground pumpkin seeds (optional)
1 tbs liquid smoke
1 tbs evo
Cook in pressure cooker or instant pot for the required amount of time 'chili bean stew' setting.
There is no sauteing involved as there is no need to do so, due to the intense flavour of the sauce
cooked in the pressure cooker.
Serve with either a dollop of sour cream or yogurt,diced avocados, a sprinkle of chilli flakes/lime
and freshly baked cornbread.
The stew tasted far better on the following day and I often add some chopped cooked kale when
reheating it.
I also add some lime juice and stir before serving. The chilli is very thick and all the flavours blend in
and give a very warm, spicy taste.
Bear in mind that the above may not be an authentic chocolate mole and feel free to omit or and
add other ingredients that you fancy.
