Some Like it Hot!
Good food can be made by anyone who has the desire. At Mi Huerta, the products we have created are made with desire and much effort. Specifically, the Mi Huerta Mole Poblano sauce is made carefully and made with only the best ingredients in Mexico that bring out its popular, powerful flavor. Our mole tastes like it just came out of a Mexican chef’s kitchen!
Cooking with Mole sauce can be tricky. Because it has a very rich flavor that can be compared to a chocolate or dark cocoa, it must be paired nicely with certain foods for the ultimate burst of excitement with each bite. Luckily, we have been doing this for quite some time so we have an idea as to what tastes delicious with Mole sauce and what doesn’t. For example, when cooking with Mole sauce, it should be brought to a boil little by little with chicken broth and then mixed with certain items such as vegetables, rice, or chicken for best results. It is such a unique and delicate ingredient that it must be treated like the celebrity sauce of all sauces. However, this recipe is special. It incorporates Mi Huerta Mole Poblano sauce with none other than bacon. BACON IS EVERYWHERE. Bacon is a protein that families across the world can’t live without so why not use that with a beloved Mexican ingredient? It is like the perfect pairing we never knew existed. Which is why Mi Huerta is going to share an awesome recipe using our very own Mole sauce and maybe you can create this masterpiece for yourself and loved ones too! Its title is simple but don’t be fooled, the flavors and aromas will sweep you off your feet in bacon and mole sauce heaven.

This recipe includes spices, bacon and much more that will make you want to eat this by itself and hide it from everyone, don’t worry we won’t tell!
Ingredients
1 package Mi Huerta Mole Poblano sauce
1 Onion, Chopped
3 Strips of Bacon
1 Teaspoon Dried Oregano
1 Red Pepper, Chopped
3 Cloves Garlic, Minced
2 Cups Mushrooms, Sliced
2-1/2 Cups Chicken Broth
1 Cup Rice, Uncooked
Salt and Pepper
Green Onions, Chopped for Garnish
Fresh Parsley Chopped for Garnish
Shredded Cheese for topping
Let’s make this mole masterpiece!
First, you need to cook the bacon and set aside; don’t worry you’ll be adding it later so if it cools off that is okay. To the same skillet with bacon drippings, sauté red pepper, onion, garlic and red pepper flakes(optional) with a pinch of salt and pepper until softened. Add mushrooms and cook until soft.
Next, Increase the heat to high and add your chicken broth and Mi Huerta Mole Poblano sauce. Slowly stir and bring to a boil; add rice and then reduce the heat to low.
Cover and cook until tender and the liquid is fully absorbed which can take about 30 to 35 minutes. Stir the rice after about 15 or 20 minutes to make sure it’s not sticking and has enough liquid left to cook completely. Add more stock or water if needed.
Once the rice is tender, turn off the heat and let it stand for 5 minutes. Stir in chopped bacon; check for seasoning, adding salt and pepper if needed.
To serve, top with chopped green onions, parsley and sprinkle cheddar cheese and then get ready to fall in love!
An Acquired Taste
Now that you have this recipe under your belt you can get to cooking. I promise it is nothing like anything you have made before and the abundance of flavor is delightful. There is just one thing, Mole sauce is an acquired taste. So, if you aren’t sure about how spicy you like things, take out the peppers and pepper flakes because mole sauce is naturally made with a kick to it. Overall this recipe is not only delicious but it’s really healthy. If you think about everything made you could basically tell all of your friends you are one healthy cook! Veggies, protein and a simple sauce all added together is the perfect combination for the ultimate healthy cuisine and the best part is it doesn’t lack in flavor. So many healthy options lack in flavor or something that leaves the person disappointed staring back at their plate wishing they had a burger.
