I just went to La Alborada today and saw green mole paste. This Heavy Table article says someone comes in to make it from scratch.

Is this what I think it is--green mole sauce? I've only had the dark brown variety. What's in it?

re: Enso
yeah it is green chocolate sauce often served with soda bread and a Guinness....
no actually they are not at all alike, mole just means sauce. mole verde has a lot of variations but it usually has tomatillos and cilantro and ground toasted seeds (el norteno uses pumpkin seeds).

re: zfwp
ok i found more info about mole verde. i stopped in at the cinco de mayo mercado
(813 E. 66th steet Richfield ) and found a bottle of Donna Maria brand mole verde (distributed by hormel http://www.herdeztraditions.com/donam... ).
it lists the ingredients: Chile peppers, soybean oil, crackers (wheat flour, salt, and corn starch), sugar, sesame seeds, peanuts, salt, cocoa and natural flavors.
this is a variation on the pumpkin seed variety.
i also found a variation called mole pipian (pumpkin seeds, soybean oil, crackers (wheat flour, salt, and corn starch), sesame seeds, peanuts, chile peppers, salt and natural flavors).-

Let's expect a recipe conversation will get moved off this regional board -- shifted to the Home Cooking board rather than deleted outright if you are lucky.
Back on topic for Minnepolis/St. Paul: iIt sounds as though there is one source to purchase green mole retail in the Twin Cities area. Have you run across suggestions where to find it in a restaurant besides el Norteno?
