Green Mole'

[Tab]

I asked this a few years ago, but didn't get any decent answers (I don't think).

Dona Marie makes a mole' (for Mexican food); but they also make a green mole'. I bought the green once and it was downright disgusting to eat in its packaged form.

What are you supposed to do with, or how are you supposed to prepare/use, green mole'? I certainly wouldn't use it straight, as opposed to the brown mole'.

1. The green mole I've seen

and it's one of about a dozen that I know of, was a pistachio and avocado based sauce that was served with chicken. You could probably search "mole de pistache" and come up with its recipe.

There's also a pipian verde sauce, also served with poultry, based on pumpkin seeds, green tomatoes, and the type of complex flavorings one finds in a mole. This is probably closer to what was in a bottle.

2. Around here it's used as a sauce base for simmering chicken.

Thinned with some chicken stock for slow cooking. It's made with tomatillos, irrc?

3. Hmm, that could be interesting

I was thinking of it like regular brown mole', except it's inedible (for me) in its natural form. Might make for an interesting sauce. Would you add ingredients to it, or just some stock?
