Our Mole Mexican Food Pardo

The mole is one of the most representative dishes of Mexican food, especially for large celebrations. The origin of mass is lost in the legend or placed in large poblano convent kitchens of the colony.

In these convents were strengthened and perfected the Mexican cuisine, as they frequently entertained large civic and religious personalities of the Viceroyalty. There he enjoyed for the first time many of the dishes that ultimately gave fame to the Mexican cuisine. Legend has it that once Juan de Palafox, viceroy of New Spain and Archbishop of Puebla, visited his diocese, a poblano convent offered him a banquet, for which the cooks of the religious community special care.

The head chef was Fray Pascual, who that day was running around the kitchen giving orders to the imminence of the important visit. It is said that Fray Pascual was particularly nervous and began to berate his aides, in view of the disorder that reigned in the kitchen.

The same Fra Pascual began to pile on a tray to keep all the ingredients in the pantry and such was his haste that he was stumbling right in front of the pot where succulent turkeys were nearly ready. They did all the chiles, chocolate chips and the most varied species spoiling the food to be offered to the Viceroy.

Such was the anguish of Fray Pascual that he began to pray with all his faith, just as he warned that the guests were seated at the table. A while later, he could not believe when everyone praised the rough meal.

This popular legend was so popular that even today, in small villages, housewives hurry invoking the aid of the monk with the following verse: "San Pascual Baylon, stokes my fire." However, it is certain that the mole is not the product of chance but the result of a slow cooking process since pre-started and perfected, yes, in colonial times, when rich Mexican cuisine with Asian and European countries.

Each region printed on their own label mole and thus arose the mole poblano, Oaxacan black mole, mole amarillito the southeast, the mole coloradito the Valley of Mexico, rancher of the Plateau and many others that amaze us both its complexity and its simplicity.
