I made a new mole sauce tonight-different from my usual, and it's awful (I got it from some vegetarian cooking site-it was highly rated, but ugh!). It tastes like peanut butter, chocolate, and cinnamon. I followed the recipe to the letter EXCEPT that I put in 1/3 of the cocoa powder it called for, 1/2 of the peanut butter, and 1/2 of the cinnamon. Still, these 3 flavors are overpowering the entire sauce.
I know I'll probably end up throwing it out and going without mole tonight, but anyone have ideas for fixing this? I have dumped out 1/2 the sauce, then added tomato paste, tomato SOUP, vinegar, more chili powder, salt, and ancho powder (one at a time). The sauce still tastes like it belongs in a cinnamon roll instead of on my burrito!
Anyone able to help? (feel free to include a different sauce recipe, as well-this one won't be used again!).
