My husband, a picky eater, was hesitant the first time I made this.
This past weekend, the sixth or seventh time I’ve made it, I was sure to keep enough for leftovers. When I told him, last night that he had a choice of three things for dinner, and I said “First, there’s the yellow chicken mole with masa dumplings” he immediately said,”Yes”. I asked if he wanted to hear choices two and three and he didn’t.

Yes, it is that good.

Thank you,Pati. (And because of this dish, he’s now willing to try other things that he would not otherwise.)

Hola Pati

Thank you very much for all the recipes I’ve used several and they all turn out great. This one specially reminds me my Grandmother, she was from Oaxaca and she used to cook delicious. She is still my inspiration to continue cooking.

Tendras la receta del Mole Negro Oaxaqueno que nos la puedas compartir?

Gracias de nuevo,

While watching the cinnamon episode, I was intrigued by this non-chocolate mole (by the way, I LOVE your poblano mole recipe). I observed that the Hoja Santa leaves you had in your hand were dried and rather small (fist size) compared to the fresh Hoja Santa I purchased at a local mercado which were about 12 inches by 7 inches. Would I use one (1) of these rather large leaves rather than the “3 medium” leaves found in the recipe?
Thanks.
P.S. I am pleased to learn that you will have a second season of Pati’s Mexican Table. I’ve learned and made so many of your very fine recipes.

Pati my boyfriend of 4 years has never liked mole no matter how I make it for him!!!We saw this episode and he asked me to make it for him so thank you I will try it and hopefully he will like it because mole is my favorite!!! I will keep you posted. Again Thank you! Horchata and Marranitos are his favorite so if i make them as a meal I ‘am sure he will like. Juarez,MX is a hop skip and a jump so I can get the CANELA and Piloncillo with no problem.:)

I made this with some veggie meat and stock instead of chicken and it was awesome!

Hola Jeanne, Thank you for your questions! Just add the ingredients without the water because the tomatillos are really juicy and will provide plenty of liquid for the sauce. The dried peppers will have a different flavor than the ground ancho powder because the powder is really concentrated. I would recommend to use the dried pepper over the powder, but if you are unable to find the peppers, I would recommend 1 1/2 teaspoons ancho powder. If you use the powder, add 1/2 teaspoon at a time and add more to your liking. Hope you enjoy!

Hi Pati,
Do you add all the water to the blender or do you just add the tomatoes, garlic and chili’s? Also, I purchased ground Ancho powder, can I use that instead of the dried pepper?
Thank you,
Jeanne
