- 1 tsp course sea salt

Wonderful mole sauce makes wonderful stew. This recipe is very quick, if you already have the mole. I always make extra mole sauce now, and put the extra into half-cup and one-cup containers in the freezer.
You can make it thicker by adding less water. Depending on how much liquid the peppers produce, you can get away with no water at all and basically coat the chicken and vegetables with the mole. But if you do go for a broth, this is great with something that can soak up the broth, such as rice, biscuits, or flat bread.
