MOLE OAXAQUENO
There are only a few markets as fascinating as the indoor market of Oaxaca city, which has been on the same site since the 17th century.
To visit this market is to have a complete sensory experience where colors, smells, sounds and tastes mix in an almost overwhelming manner. Among the things you can buy there, are the many ingredients for Mole Negro Oaxaqueño: mulato chiles, pasilla chiles, garlic, sesame seeds, dried avocado leaves, tortillas, almonds, walnuts, peanuts, raisins, cinnamon, cloves, allspice, marjoram, thyme, oregano, onions, tomatillos, tomatoes, and the main ingredient: Mexican chocolate.
Authentic mole takes 3 days to make, when all ingredients are ground by hand on a volcanic rock metate..
