hi there. I am mexican and the rigth way to pronounce is like is writing which is mole. the most traditional and wel´ known mole is indeed mole poblano from Puebla and mole negro from Oaxaca and it takes up to 24 ingredients to make it.

YoungAtHeart, molee.

How is it pronounced correctly? Presumably not like the animal!
