Craving chocolate in a savory meat dish? Try the sauce that’s known as mole. We bought a convenient bottled mole produced by Dona Maria in the international foods aisle of Safeway. Mole sauce is commonly known as the savory Mexican gravy that calls for chocolate; however, there are actually several kinds of mole sauce (depending on the region of Mexico). And, some versions of mole don’t even call for chocolate. All mole sauces call for veggies, nuts, and chile peppers. The chocolate used in mole is neither sweet nor like the rich dark chocolate bars found in regular grocery stores. Mexican chocolate is scented with cinnamon and isn't sweet. The pop of heat and the deep chocolate flavor combine for a richness that adds a new dimension to a poultry entree.
