- Evangelina Alquino Luis, a Oaxaca chef, makes special mole to comfort families in times of grief.
- She grinds spices, chiles, and other ingredients using a traditional stone called the metate.
- With the advent of modern blenders, these ancient tools are less common in households.
Native Mexican women still make mole sauce from metate grinding stones using traditional tools. We meet Evangelina Aquino Luis, Nana Vira in Oaxaca, to learn how she makes chichilo mole.
