PREPARATION
Cook the turkey or the chickens with the ingredients and water to cover. Once cooked, it is removed from its broth, it is strained and set aside.
The mole:
In a large casserole, the butter is burned, where the onion and garlic are seasoned, then the plantain is added and fried until golden, then the rest of the ingredients are added and fried quickly, because if the sesame, peanuts or chilies go browned, the sauce becomes bitter. Blend everything with a little of the broth where the turkey or chickens were cooked and strain. Put it back in the casserole, add the necessary broth and let it season over a low heat for 15 to 20 minutes. Add the meat, boil for 10 more minutes and serve.
PRESENTATION
Accompany the mole with red rice and beans from the pot.
