Dona Maria Mole Pipian 230g

A classic Mexican gravy of pre-Hispanic origin, the main characteristic of the pipián or pepián is the use of pumpkin seeds to thicken its consistency. Used mainly with seafood and beef, this classic sauce can also be used as a marinade.

Doña María mole sauce delivers all the rich, slow-cooked flavour that the best mole offers, but it is wonderfully easy to use. Pour the whole contents in a pot and cook for 5 minutes on low to medium heat, stirring constantly until it looks like a runny paste. Slowly add 4.5 cups of water or chicken/beef stock, and continue stirring until integrated. Let boil until the desired consistency is reached. For a runnier sauce, just add more water.
