Hello! I'm just wondering if anyone has a recipe for Chicken Mole Poblano that tastes like what they serve at the San Angel Inn. I fell in love with this dish last time I was at Epcot. I got Mole chicken at another Mexican restaurant at home and... it just didn't taste the same. Very bitter. If I make it at home, I just want to be sure that the recipe tastes like what I had at Epcot rather than the bitter style I had elsewhere. Thanks in advance! :)
 
If you want authentic mole like what you had at the San Angel, try to track down a copy of this out of print cookbook:

The author -- Marjorie Piper -- is inarguably one of the most knowledgeable experts on Mexican cooking in North America and this 1983 work was her masterpiece. The mole recipe is one she researched by going to the Pueblo where the dish originated and going through the records there. There are a lot of ingredients (including some hard to find chilies) and it takes hours to prepare, but the results are absolutely amazing.
 
One of my favorite dishes at Disney... I only wish I could make it.
 

As a PP mentioned Mole is extremely "difficult" to recreate. There are many many many ingredients and it takes hours to develop the flavor properly.

I have seen shows on Food Network that discuss Mole and you will find chefs/cooks that describe trying to perfect their abuela's mole recipe from yesteryear and it is never quite the same and these are people that have been exposed to the preparation required for mole for generations and they still can't get it right! Good Luck! But in my opinion...find some place that cooks a perfect mole to your liking and eat out ;)
