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."

About Top Chef ™
Top Chef ™ is an American reality competition television series which has run since March 2006. The show features professional chefs competing against each other in culinary challenges.
The Top Chef ™ chef-contestants are judged by a counsel of exemplary, world-renowned professional chefs and famous names from the food and wine industry.
The contestants are superb, professional chefs with a huge array of global food skills.
The show is progressive, eliminating one or two chefs each week. Each episode follows a consistent theme with (usually) a Quickfire challenge (short and fun) followed by a more difficult "Elimination Challenge" that is much more intense. The Top Chef ™ Judges Table is where the winners and losers are determined each week.
