Chicken Mole (墨西哥朱古力雞)

thermostat

Mole (/ˈmoʊleɪ/, /ˈmoʊli/ Spanish pronunciation: [ˈmole]; from Nahuatl mōlli, "sauce") is the generic name for a number of sauces originally used in Mexican cuisine, as well as for dishes based on these sauces. Outside Mexico, it often refers specifically to mole poblano.

Mole poblano is the best known of all mole varieties and has been ranked as number one of "typical" Mexican dishes. It has also been called the "national dish" of Mexico. The state of Puebla is identified with mole poblano. Mole poblano has been described as an ancient dish.

Mole poblano contains about 20 ingredients, including chili peppers and chocolate, which works to counteract the heat of the chili peppers, but the chocolate does not dominate. It helps give the sauce its dark color, but this is also provided by the mulato peppers. This sauce is most often served over turkey at weddings, birthdays and baptisms, or at Christmas with romero over shrimp cakes. The sauce is also served with chicken, pork, or other meats. Another time when the sauce is prominent is Cinco de Mayo. While this holiday is not celebrated much in the rest of Mexico, it is a major celebration in Puebla.

這個墨西哥朱古力雞（Chicken with Mole Poblano, or simply called Chicken Mole），在香港很多so-called正宗墨西哥餐廳都沒有提供，最攪笑係d食評家說："要食墨西哥菜，就要來這間（他們剛開餐的）餐廳了"。原來一間墨西哥餐廳連國菜都沒有，都叫做正宗。

原來，2013年，港島香格里拉大酒店龍蝦吧餐廳和café TOO曾經推出過 "淡朱古力醬烤雞配墨西哥飯"，朱古力醬包著雞就沒有。
