Ingredients:
- 1 pound tomatillos
- 3-4 green chilies
- 1 onion, chopped
- 3 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 cup chicken or vegetable broth
- 1/2 cup pumpkin seeds
- 1/4 cup sesame seeds
- 1/4 cup almonds
- 1/4 cup raisins
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp coriander
- 1 tsp oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
Once you have gathered all your ingredients, the first step in making this delicious Mexican green mole sauce is to prepare the tomatillos and green chilies. These two ingredients are the base of the sauce and will provide a tangy and spicy flavor to the dish. To prepare the tomatillos, remove the husks and rinse them in cold water. Cut them into quarters and set aside. For the green chilies, remove the stems and seeds and chop them into small pieces.
In a large saucepan, heat some oil over medium heat and add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent. Then, add in the tomatillos and green chilies and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Next, add in the chicken or vegetable broth and let the mixture simmer for another 10 minutes.
While the tomatillos and chilies are cooking, it's time to make the nut and seed paste. In a separate pan, toast the pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, and almonds until they become slightly browned. Then, transfer them to a blender or food processor and add in the raisins, cumin, coriander, and oregano. Blend until you have a smooth paste.
Once the tomatillo mixture has simmered for 10 minutes, add in the nut and seed paste and let it cook for an additional 10 minutes. This will allow all the flavors to come together and create a thick and creamy sauce. Finally, add salt and pepper to taste and let the sauce cook for another 5 minutes.
Your Mexican green mole sauce is now ready to be served! This versatile sauce can be used as a topping for tacos, enchiladas, or served over grilled chicken or vegetables. The possibilities are endless! Enjoy this delicious and authentic Mexican dish in the comfort of your own home with this easy and flavorful recipe.
