Pipián Verde

A pipián is a sauce made with seeds (and sometimes nuts) and vegetables. Pipianes come in red (rojo) and green (verde) versions, and although similar to moles, they tend to be simpler to make. Bright, thick, rich, and spicy, this green pipián, which is sometimes called green mole, is packed with tangy tomatillos, roasted poblanos, jalapeños, and toasted pumpkin seeds. It is delicious spooned over roasted turkey or carnitas
