Four generations called mole de olla

Every time I visited my grandmother’s house, I kept repeating to myself that I had to learn how to make the dish that for generations had been a family tradition. If I did not learn how to make the famous mole de olla, I was not worthy of the last name. The snap of the blender integrated every ingredient that incorporated my roots.

I always watched as my Grandmother added the beef to the broth, the mixture that had previously been prepared with chile. This included 5 pasilla peppers, 9 green tomatoes, cumin, and salt. The small frying pan was in charge of roasting the chili peppers, the perfect side…

A few months ago the great day that my Grandmother was waiting for arrived. I cooked the mole de olla that can conquer the palate of anyone. Could it be that the recipe was only for me? Or for everyone?

Today I decided to share this recipe that, as you will understand, has great sentimental value for me. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Ingredients for 4 people:

1 kg pork bone

1/2 pork loin

9 green leafy tomatoes

Cumin (to taste)

6 garlic cloves

2 tablespoons of maseca

5 pasilla peppers

Rice (to taste)

Yellow corn

Tree chili peppers

            Process

  1. In a slow cooker, cook the meat overnight
  2. Add the 5 pasilla peppers, 6 garlic cloves, cumin and the 9 green leafy   tomatoes to the blender. Once you have the pasta, strain slowly. All the pulp of the previously prepared pasta must remain in the strainer and our juice must remain in our broth.
  3. The pulp juice needs to be integrated into our broth. Let it simmer for about 30 minutes. Add salt evenly (to taste). Sprinkle with cumin to give our final flavor. Take two tablespoons of maseca and stir them in our broth, it will help to fluff it up and make it concisely.
  4. In a small pot put our rice to cook (without salt and no external seasoning).
  5.  Serve separately our yellow corn, rice, roasted chili peppers

Chef’s Comments

The meat can be cooked the same day, but I recommend from the night before, this will help make the meat softer and you can enjoy the dish more.

You should not forget the rice, roasted chili peppers and corn. They are essential accessories …

Español: Cuatro generaciones llamadas mole de olla 

Cada vez que visitaba la casa de mi abuela me repetía una y otra vez que debía aprender a hacer el platillo que por generaciones había sido toda una tradición familiar. Si no aprendía a hacer el famosísimo mole de olla no era digna de llevar su apellido.  El chasquido de la licuadora integraba cada ingrediente que incorporaba mis raíces. 

Siempre observaba como  añadía  al caldo la carne de res, la mezcla que había preparado previamente de chile pasilla. Lo que incluía 5 chiles pasilla , 9 tomates verdes , comino y sal. El sartén pequeño era el encargado de asar  los chiles de árbol, el acompañante perfecto… 

Hace unos meses llegó el gran día que tanto esperaba mi abuela. Cociné el mole de olla que podrá conquistar el paladar de cualquier persona. ¿Será que la receta solo era para mi?¿ O para  todo el mundo?.

Hoy decidí compartirles esta receta que como entenderán, tiene gran valor sentimental para mi. Espero que la disfruten tanto como yo.

Ingredientes para 4 personas:

1 kg espinazo de cerdo

1/2 lomo de cerdo 

9 tomates verdes de hojita 

Comino (al gusto)

6 dientes de ajo 

2 cucharadas de maseca

5 chiles pasilla 

Arroz (al gusto) 

Elote amarillo  

Chiles  de árbol 

          Procedimiento 

  1. En una olla de lenta cocción poner a cocer la carne durante la noche
  2. Agregar los 5 chiles pasilla , 6 dientes de ajo,comino y los 9 tomates verde hojita a la licuadora. Una vez teniendo la pasta, ir colando poco a poco. Todo la pulpa de la pasta preparada previamente debe quedar en el colador y nuestro jugo debe quedar en nuestro caldo. 
  3. El jugo de la pulpa requiere ser integrado a nuestro caldo.  Dejarlo a fuego lento alrededor de unos 30 minutos. Agregar de forma uniforme la sal (al gusto). Espolvorear comino para dar nuestro sabor final. Tomar dos cucharadas de maseca y menearlas en nuestro caldo, ayudará a esponjarlo y quede de forma concisa. 
  4. En una olla pequeña poner nuestro arroz a cocer (sin sal y ningún condimento externo) . 
  5.  Servir de forma aparte nuestro elote amarillo,arroz,chiles de árbol asados  

Comentarios del chef 

La carne puede ser cocida el mismo dia, pero recomiendo desde una noche anterior, así ayudará a que quede la carne más suave y puedas disfrutar más el platillo. 

No debes olvidar el arroz, chiles de árbol asados y el elote. Son complementos esenciales…
