Pipián is a stew made from toasted and ground pumpkin seeds, giving it a very unique flavor. Depending on the region, pipián can be green, white, or red, and it is a dish that has been customary since pre-Hispanic times, although it has certainly evolved over time. For example, this fish in pipián recipe will be ideal for any day of the week.

For the pipián: toast the pumpkin seeds, peanuts, sesame seeds, cinnamon, allspice, and cumin (10 minutes). Cool the ingredients and set aside. In a food processor, grind the ingredients you grilled in parts, first the pumpkin seeds, then the peanuts, sesame seeds, and spices. Set aside. In a blender, blend the tomato, onion, garlic, chiles, purslane, cilantro, and salt. Heat a pot over medium heat and add the vegetables; then, add the ground seeds and spices, add salt, and cook for 20 minutes, until the pipián changes color. Set aside. Heat a skillet over medium heat, add vegetable oil, and grill the fish for 10 minutes, seasoning with salt and pepper. Serve the fish with the pipián and garnish with pumpkin seeds and sesame seeds.
