Mole has a reputation as a two-day project and this is a fair compressed version that's honest about being one. Chef Marcela said plainly what had been shortened and what she'd never shorten — the toasting of the chillies, mainly, which is where the depth comes from and which takes minutes rather than hours. The chocolate goes in at the end and in far smaller quantity than people expect; it's a seasoning rather than a flavour.
