Mole de olla is one of the most emblematic dishes of Mexican cuisine, a hearty broth that combines different cuts of beef with seasonal vegetables and a touch of chili. Originally from central Mexico, this dish is perfect for sharing with family, especially on cold days, although Mexicans enjoy it all year round.
Our recipe includes a mix of meats such as chuck, shank, and ribs, along with marrow bones that add deep flavor and a gelatinous texture to the broth. Xoconostles, a sour variety of prickly pear, give it that characteristic touch, while ancho and pasilla chiles, previously soaked and blended, add a mild heat and a vibrant red color. Vegetables like corn, carrot, and green beans are cooked separately to maintain their texture and then added to the broth.
The result is a complete and nutritious dish, ideal for those seeking comforting and flavorful food. Although the preparation involves several steps, the process is simple and the cooking time is moderate. If you prefer a lighter version, you can reduce the amount of meat or substitute some cuts with chicken.
