I have always loved moles but have never found a recipe that matches the ones I have had at my fav Mexican restaurants I think the recipe video is what really inspired me and helped me through the steps.
Only two things to add to this I made this one day and I didn't think it had the flavor I was looking for. After a day in the frig. The only other problem that I had was in step 6. The mole in the blender was too thick to blend the added vegetables.
So I added the final cup of chicken stock to the blender and it blended easily. I then poured the blended mixture into the pan and added the rest of the ingredients. I was just a bit puzzled by the description of dark chocolate so I added 5 oz.
I do think this would work with any good dark sweetened chocolate though. The plus is that this makes alot so I am freezing pints of the stuff to pull out when we have a craving for mole.

It's lovely with chunks of pork precook it or on enchiladas.

The color can range from bright to light green, depending on the ingredients. Try making it from scratch with this recipe that calls for chicken and other easy-to-find ingredients. Made with a base of beef stock and thickened with masa dough made with corn flour , it's the rarest mole made, often prepared for special occasions. Mole takes a lot of time to make, traditionally, since dried chiles need to be toasted, onions sauteed and browned.
Plus, the order in which the ingredients are added matters; each one needs to be cooked for a different amount of time. Much of the success of your mole recipe will depend on the quality of the dried chiles you find. Chose chiles that are pliable and flexible, which indicates that they are fresher. If they're brittle, they're likely very old and as a result will have weaker flavor. While there are definitely recipes that include shortcuts , your end result will be a deeper flavor if you take the time to cook ingredients well and use an authentic recipe.
As one legend of the origin of mole sauce tells it, nuns in Mexico put together a random assortment of ingredients upon hearing that the archbishop was coming to visit. The only meat they had on hand was an old turkey who wandered the grounds, and so they cooked it and ladled their sauce over the top.
