The Guide to the Regional Moles of Mexico. Mole is not one dish—the term encompasses a range of flavors, textures, consistencies, and ingredients, a heterogeneous spectrum that unrolls like a table-covering treasure map.

The Guide to the Regional Moles of Mexico

The word “mole” comes from the Nahuatl “mulli,” meaning sauce or stew. Though the word is pre-Hispanic, the moles that we know today are the result of centuries of marrying and modifying regional ingredients and new and old techniques. Most start with a paste made from dried chilies, nuts, seeds, and spices, and are thickened with a starch—masa, tortillas, or bread. The results are eaten alone with tortillas or as a vehicle or sauce for proteins. The basic rubrics one can use to categorize moles overlap like Venn diagrams. Mole recipes change from state to state, region to region, household to household, and even down to each individual cook. Oaxaca, Puebla, and Tlaxcala all claim propriety of the original mole, but the true origins have been lost to history.

After a few unbelievable months in California, China and Vietnam, we finally ended up in Thailand. We spent our time there on beaches, in small bungalows and at exotic markets, completely isolated from the reality.

As I sit here in our bedroom, watching the dark silhouettes outside and feeling the cold air from the windows, that whole trip feels like a distant dream. The Perfect Picnic Pie. There is a small organic food store a few blocks from where we live.

The Perfect Picnic Pie

Apart from always having really nice fresh herbs and vegetables they also sell Turkish filo pastry hand pies called Börek, filled with spinach and feta cheese (similar to the Greek Spanakopita). And delicious mini baklavas. They make them daily and sell them waaaay too cheap. Almost everyone who visits their store leaves with a Börek in their hand and a baklawa tucked down in their bag. Us included. Instead of going down the filo pastry route, we used the flavors from the Börek in a more westernized type of pie. If you are more curious about our neighborhoods we should add that we are working on a food guide to our favorite places in Stockholm.

If you’re wondering why your friends never told you about Black Sapote, aka “Chocolate Pudding Fruit,” it’s time to reevaluate those childhood friendships.
