Mole Poblano BBQ sauce
Mole Poblano: The Mexican nr. 1 classic serves perfect for a BBQ sauce! With the chili in adobo you get some nice heat countered by the dark and bitter chocolate. Add some tomatoes and spices and you get a nice sauce that fits almost everything!
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 big onion
- 2 Cloves garlic
- 1,5 gr ground coriander seeds
- 2 pieces star anise
- 1 stick cinnamon
- 3 gr ground cloves
- 2 tomatoes
- 200 gr Chipotle in Adobo
- 1 cup Ketchup
- 60 gr dark chocolate
- Salt and pepper
- 2 tbsp cider vinegar
- 50 gr chopped peanuts
Instructions
- Add the olive oil to a sauce pan. Add the spices and let them cook for 2-3 minutes so they can release their fragrance.
- Add the onions and garlic and cook until translucent.
- Chop the tomatoes and add to the onions.
- Roughly cut the chipotle in adobo and add it to the saucepan together with the adobo sauce from the can.
- Add 1 cup ketchup and cook through.
- Roughly chop the dark chocolate and toss it in the sauce. Stir until the chocolate has molten.
