1 Servings
Ingredients
| Quantity | Ingredient | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | cup | (heaping) dry-roasted pumpkin seeds |
| ½ | cup | Onion; chopped |
| 2 | tablespoons | Peanut oil |
| 1 | cup | Chicken stock |
| 3 | Green poblano chiles roast; peel, seed, chop | |
| 1½ | cup | Cilantro; chopped |
| 2 | Garlic cloves; roasted | |
| 8 | Romaine lettuce leaves destemmed; chopped | |
| 1 | bunch | Watercress |
| 1 | bunch | Radish tops |
| 1½ | teaspoon | Anise seed; roasted |
| 1 | teaspoon | Salt |
| 1 | teaspoon | Sugar |
Directions
Saute onion in oil until slightly browned. Blen pumpkin seeds, chiles and stock to form a paste (in blender or processor). Add ½ cup of the cilantro and the remaining ingredients and puree. "Refry" this mixture in hot peanut oil for about 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Be careful not to overcook this or it will lose its bright green color. Return to blender and add the remaining cilantro. Puree until smooth. Garnish with a few extra pumpkin seeds. This green pipian goes well with pork and duck.
