So happy to have found this recipe. ...Hi Stephanie!<br />So happy to have found this recipe. I've been following you since 2007!❤️<br />The ingredients list says California chili but the picture has Pasilla chilis. I'll go with Pasilla and let you know how it turns out. Also, other mole recipes call for 4-8 oz of chilis, so I'm going to use more than just one, destemmed, deseeded and roasted 😋 AMcDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07892308002918871232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5090591139439935093.post-32985603421096798592012-02-16T19:55:18.261-08:002012-02-16T19:55:18.261-08:00just a small correction regarding the "Mole i...just a small correction regarding the "Mole is pronounced Mol-AY" statement.
