Using a different robot? Switch it here:
- Put the chicken in the mixing bowl with 1 liter water and salt. Set 25 min/Varoma/reverse/spoon speed. Set the chicken and broth aside separately.
- Without washing the mixing bowl, toast the pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds and guajillo peppers 6 min/Varoma/speed 1.
- Add the tomatoes, tomatillos, onion, garlic and cinnamon. Sauté 8 min/Varoma/speed 1.
- Add 400 g of the reserved broth and blend 1 min, gradually increasing speed 5-10, until you get a smooth sauce.
- Add the potato, chayote and green beans in chunks along with the chicken and the rest of the broth. Set 25 min/100°C/reverse/spoon speed.
- Adjust the salt and serve hot with white rice.
Tips
- Toasting the seeds well is key to pepián's deep flavor.
- For more heat, leave the veins in the guajillo pepper.
