Notes / Tips / Wine Advice:
Carry out the Mexican theme of your menu with bowls of black beans, Spanish rice, tortilla chips and salsa. Mole sauce is a rich, spicy and slightly sweet Mexican sauce. Look for it with the Mexican ingredients in your supermarket. If it’s unavailable, enchilada sauce is a good substitute.
