Yummy! This is one of the most famous dishes of Mexican cuisine: the green mole of pre-Hispanic origin and with many varieties.

Some will believe that the origin of the mole is due to Sor Andrea de la Asunción in 1685, but research indicates that its original recipe dates to pre-Hispanic cultures, in which the indigenous people mixed various ingredients such as chili peppers, pumpkin seeds, tomato, and Piper sanctum.

Although before it used to be accompanied with turkey, duck, or armadillo meat and was served as an offering to the gods, currently Mexican chefs like Enrique Olvera include it in their restaurant menu without meat and without garnish to taste its natural flavor.
