Xilli Pipian Verde Mole

Herbaceous, refreshing and nutty, this classic pipian verde mole from Xilli is made with Mexican herbs and green pepitas. Otherwise known as mole verde, most other versions you’d find come in the form of a paste or powder, with ingredients that aren’t fresh or high-quality. This mole is the real deal, getting its name and nutty flavor from the main ingredient, pumpkin seeds, along with tomatillos and jalepeños that contribute to the earthy green color. The nutty creaminess from the pepitas pairs well with the jalapeños, adding a nice sweetness and aroma without an overpowering heat. The fresh herbs in this mole add a refreshing and acidic sweetness, almost reminiscent of a sour green apple. Add this mole to rice or enchiladas, pour and simmer over the protein of your choice or use as a dipping sauce.

Place of Origin: Mexico[/accordions-break] Pour onto your rice or enchiladas, or turn into a pan-sauce to finish off your veggies or protein of choice and serve with some warm tortillas. It would also be delicious in place of the curry in this Curry-Braised Eggs recipe, simply use the sauce to braise the eggs and finish the dish with some fresh herbs, cotija cheese and a side of chips or tortillas or even some toasted bread.[/how-to-use-break]
