Episode 905: Oaxaca, Land of the Seven Moles | Rick Bayless "Mexico: One Plate at a Time"

So many moles, so little time. That’s how most visitors to Oaxaca feel when perusing the choices from mole pastes in the markets to fine examples served up at restaurants and street vendors all over the state. Let’s start with two moles, advises Rick, who takes us to Seasons of My Heart Cooking School on the outskirts of Oaxaca City to explore Black Mole and Green Mole with school owner Susana Trilling and her students. We perfectly char the chilies, set the seeds aflame and roast the tomatoes for Susana’s black mole sweetened with roasted plantain and a little Oaxacan chocolate. On the simpler side, there’s green mole-redolent with fresh herbs, roasted tomatillos and jalapeno. At home, Rick makes his Coloradito Mole before we indulge in yellow mole and grilled fish at Topolobampo.

I’m so making that mole coloradito I’m going to omit the almonds due to allergies but yummy

[@johnherron3961]

What does Rick say about whether or not we should use the brick dried chilis we get in our grocery stores? Should we pass and go for internet ones? Does it really make a difference. Seco o fresco?

[@robertarguello1115]

If the end result is an orange broth on the plate, ¿why do you call it "a yellow mole"?

[@kmcquack8989]

Oh so coloradito must be the mole that is super sweet like bbq sauce?

Oaxaca es la ciudad de los mil miles no siete

Hello Steve. I just ate some enchiladas mole. Okay, they were frozen. Sorry. I have eaten enchiladas with mole in a couple of restaurants. This stuff I just ate was full of cinnamon. I couldn't taste anything else. I ate them. I didn't like them.

[@kathyhepler382]

Please answer this Question. Do all. Mole's have chocolate in them???

[@ericktellez7632]

Poblano and Oaxacan Mole do use Chocolate BUT there are different variations in the north and south of Mexico were people do not use chocolate for the mole sauce, the most famous one is the Mole Rojo or red mole without chocolate from Michoacan

[@abejitasqueaks]
