Source: Cooking Light Annual Recipes 2004 - Cooking Light Magazine
In Mexico, a pumpkinseed mole is called mole pipian, and foods are often cooked in the sauce. We've adapted it into a green sauce to dress grilled chicken cutlets and rice.
== Ingredients ==
* 6 tablespoons shelled unsalted raw pumpkinseed kernels
* 1/4 teaspoon salt
* 1/8 teaspoon ground cumin
* 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
* Dash of freshly ground black pepper
* 1 1/4 cups fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth, divided
* 2 tomatillos
* 1 small serrano chile, stem removed
* 1 garlic clove
* 1/2 small onion, peeled and root end intact
* 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
* 2 large romaine lettuce leaves
* 1/2 teaspoon vegetable oil
* 4 (4-ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
* Cooking spray
* 3 cups hot cooked rice
== Directions ==
# Heat a large, heavy skillet over medium heat; add pumpkinseeds, salt, cumin, cinnamon, and black pepper in a spice or coffee grinder; process until finely ground.
# Place spice mixture in a small bowl; stir in 1/2 cup broth.
# Set aside.
# Remove husks and stems from tomatillos.
# Heat skillet over medium-high heat; add tomatillos, chile, garlic, and onion in a blender or food processor; process until coarsely chopped.
