Mole Infused Sour Cream
After Nor Cal Mole was created, I wanted to see what other recipes could use this hot ‘sauce’ as an ingredient. I first created Mole Aioli, monopolizing on the fat from the egg yolks and oil to tame some of the heat found in our Eat Beer Hot Sauce. Thinking along the same lines as the Mole Aioli, making a Mole infused Sour Cream could be easily made and used as a dip | condiment | sauce for a multitude of dishes. From Four Ale Nachos, a dip for French Fries | Pomme Frites, made into nachos, sauce for a chicken taco, to a Crudité or even used to make a Mole flavored chicken stroganoff, the ideas and uses for this Mole infused Sour Cream are limitless. Try substituting the sour cream with Mexican crème | crème fraîche | or even plain Greek yogurt for yet a whole new list of recipe uses.
