Gabri's Mole

Chef Gabri (in Top Chef ™: World All Stars, week 2) wanted to prepare a mole for his rice dish.

There is a wide variety of moles in Mexico, and every cook has his or her own variation. Most moles include nuts or seeds, chili peppers and dried spices. Many types of mole also include either fresh or dried fruit. The whole mixture usually gets ground or pureed together, yielding a thick yet pourable sauce.

Chef Gabri: "My mole needs to have 54 ingredients. Sunflower seeds. And I need tomatoes, garlic, onion, cherry red pepper, green pepper, pink pepper, black pepper, white pepper, fennel, pumpkin seed, coriander seed, walnut, macadamia, and a whole chicken."
