🧂 2 teaspoons salt
🐔 2 teaspoons chicken bouillon
🍶 1 small jar Doña Maria Pipian mole paste, 8.25 oz / 233g

Instructions
1- Prepare the Pork:
- Place the chopped pork meat into a large non-stick pan over medium heat.
- Add salt and chicken bouillon, stirring well to combine.
- Add a small amount of cooking oil to help sear the pork.
- Sear the pork, stirring occasionally, until it is cooked through and lightly browned.
2- Prepare the Mole Sauce:
- While the pork cooks, open the jar of Doña Maria Pipian mole paste.
- In a separate medium pot, place the entire jar of mole paste.
- Use the empty mole jar to measure approximately 1.5 cups of water, then pour it into the pot with the mole paste.
- Whisk the mixture until the mole paste is fully dissolved, achieving a smooth, gravy-like consistency.
3- Combine and Cook:

- Pour the prepared pipian mole sauce over the cooked pork in the pan, stirring to coat all the meat.
- Add the chopped green and yellow zucchinis to the pan.
