Quick and easy mole recipe anyone?

I used to love my Mom's mole recipe before I stopped eating dead animals. Does anyone have a veggie mole recipe that comes close to the original Mexican version made with chicken?

I am pretty good in the kitchen and would love to help but I have no idea what 'mole' is! LOL
Is it know as something else too? Maybe you could explain it to this ozzy???? ???

Would be happy to explain.

Mole, pronounced MOH leh, is this yummy dark brown, gravy-like sauce made with dried chile peppers, chocolate, peanuts and other spices and seasonings. It's commonly prepared with chicken, in kind of stew-like dish. Sometimes Mexican restaurants the mole sauce on enchiladas instead of the regular red enchilada sauce.

There is a posting for a poblano mole sauce on this site. But I was looking for something more simple and was wondering how to prepare it to make a vegetarian/vegan chicken mole dish.

I found this link to one store brand mole sauce which appears to be vegan and easy to prepare(just replace the chicken broth with vegetable broth).

I've never tried it and am wondering if anyone has, or if anyone has found any other store-bought vegan mole sauce and made a veggie chicken mole dish. Am wondering what  brand of vegetarian/vegan chicken would work best, too.

I have a KISS idea.  Have you tried freezing some tofu, thawing it out, pressing out the water and saucing it with the mole?

Just kidding...

Here is one I've used for enchiladas. It is good, but I always tweak it for my tastes:
