Mole Verde Ingredients

Method

Mole Verde Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Wash and chop all fresh herbs and vegetables. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Toast the Pumpkin Seeds

    In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the pumpkin seeds until they are golden and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Stir frequently to avoid burning. Remove from skillet and set aside.

  3. 3

    Blend the Mole Verde

    In a blender or food processor, combine the toasted pumpkin seeds, cilantro, parsley, jalapeños, avocado, garlic, cumin, oregano, vegetable broth, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy, adding more broth if necessary to reach desired consistency.

  4. 4

    Taste and Adjust Seasoning

    Taste the mole verde and adjust the seasoning with more salt, pepper, or lime juice if needed.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Transfer the mole verde to a serving bowl and serve with tortilla chips, grilled vegetables, or as a sauce for your favorite dishes.
