Elevate your seasonal greens with a complex, balanced Mexican mole sauce
In short: Chef Thomasina Miers demonstrates how to pair barbecued asparagus and purple sprouting broccoli with a traditional mole sauce. Filmed at Homeacres garden, this dish offers a sophisticated, spicy profile that remains approachable for those who prefer moderate heat.
Mole—pronounced molay—is a classic Mexican preparation known for its depth of flavor. While often associated with intense spice, this version provides a pleasant, nuanced heat that allows the individual ingredients to shine rather than overwhelming the palate.
The dish was prepared on April 22, 2026, at Homeacres garden in southwest England. Beyond its role as a side, the combination of charred vegetables and rich sauce is substantial enough to serve as a complete meal.
