Hello friends! Before we get started with this video, I need to emphasize this: there are endless ways and recipes to make mole. However, it is universally known that it takes a lot of time and a great many ingredients that sometimes we may not have on hand. So we Mexican moms will at some point use store-bought mole and we all have our way of enhancing it. Hence this recipe, which is my shot at making store-bought mole (which I believe is not quite ready to use as is) taste closer to the real, made-from scratch thing. It will also make your mole stretch so you can make at least 2-3 meals out of this paste. Anyway, this is how I do my mole paste. I hope you pick up a few tips and tricks!
