Mole verde · Oaxaca

Mole verde is the green herb-and-tomatillo mole of the seven, thickened with masa and bright with hierba santa, epazote, parsley and pumpkin seeds.

Mole verde is the fresh-herb mole, the lightest and quickest of the seven, with no chocolate and no dried chiles. Tomatillos, hierba santa, epazote, parsley and toasted pumpkin seeds make the base; masa thickens it. The dish anchors Sunday family lunches across Oaxaca and is the brightest mole on the menu at Las Quince Letras, Los Pacos and Restaurante Catedral.
