✅Ingredients:
1kg of chicken
Oil or butter (whatever you cook with)
1 medium onion cut in 2
1 large garlic clove
150g of pumpkin seeds (pepitaa)
A handful of sesame seeds
15 green tomatoes
3 serrano peppers (if you don’t eat spicy, put less)
3 lettuce leaves
1 Hoja santa
1 small bunch of epazote
1 small bunch of cilantro
1 small bunch of parsley
1 and a half cups of chicken broth
For the chicken
1.- Put it in the pot, add water, it should be covered, add salt and half an onion and let it boil until it is cooked.
(There are people who do not like it boiled, you can also brown it in oil and set aside)
2- In a frying pan, roast the pumpkin seeds. Once they are ready, take them out and roast the sesame seeds as well.
(Be very careful for the love of God that they don’t burn because it won’t be any good anymore and then they’ll blame me) 😮💨
Okay…
3- In the blender you’re going to put the raw tomatoes, the chilies, half a chopped onion, 3 lettuce leaves, epazote, cilantro, parsley, a clove of garlic, hoja santa, the pumpkin seeds and the toasted sesame seeds… Grind them.
4- Put a large pot with a little oil or butter, whatever you use, and add what you ground in the blender and let it season very well and add salt to taste and you can add a pinch of ground pepper (your choice)
5- The sauce will start to thicken, stir it, stir it and add the chicken broth with about 1 and a half cups left (not much because it gets watery, try it out)
6- Now that the sauce has boiled, add the chicken, leave it for about 5 more minutes and that’s it 🤩
There are people who do it differently and that’s fine, the cuisine is varied both in preparation and in ingredients
