Mexicans have been producing Mole sauce for centuries, making use of it in savoury dishes rather than sweet. A lot of folks are intrigued by this notion of chocolate and chillies mixed in with meat or vegetables but we tried Dartmoor Chilli Farm’s version, the Ancho & Chocolate Sauce as well as Chilli Pepper Pete’s Chilli Chocolate Sauce and though rather various, both function truly properly! The chilli prevents the sauce from becoming also wealthy and sickening although the top quality dark chocolate making use of significantly much less sugar than you would with milk ensures that the sauce operates well in savoury meals.
