Mole De Cacahuate (Peanut Mole).
July 2nd, 2010
This rich smokey peanut sauce is a wonderful dip as well as an accompaniment with beans in burritos.
Makes two cups.
Ingredients.
- 1 small onion
- 1 garlic clove
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- 4 tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon chipotle chilli (if you do substitute with other chilli you won't get the smokey flavour)
- 1 cup vegetable stock
- 1 cup roasted peanuts
- Oil
Method.
Finely chop the garlic and onion. Add to a frypan with little oil and saute for 5 minutes over a medium heat until soft.
Roughly chop the tomatoes.
Add the spices to the pan and cook for half a minute until they are fragrant. Add the tomatoes and chilli and cook for ten minutes.
Blend in a food processor with the stock and roasted peanuts, making sure that sauce is kept a little chunky.
Return to the pan and simmer for 10 minutes. Serve.
