Our Mole Verde (green mole) is one of the seven traditional moles credited to the Mexican Oaxacan culture. It is brightest of the traditional moles partly because of the quantity of herbs, but also because the sauce is based around the zesty tomatillo. With our Mole Verde Spice you'll need to add the tomatillos. Use our Mole Verde to make beef, chicken, pork, seafood or vegetable mole. To convert the spice into a paste, mix equal parts spice, water, and oil.
