This herbed pumpkin seed mole, traditionally known as mole verde, is a vibrant and aromatic Mexican-inspired dish. Unlike the dark, chocolate-infused moles of Oaxaca, this version relies on the fresh flavours of coriander and parsley, balanced by the nutty depth of toasted pumpkin seeds. The mixture of charred tomatillos and gentle spices creates a bright, savoury sauce that feels both nourishing and indulgent while remaining entirely dairy free.

Perfect for a weekday dinner or a weekend feast, this versatile sauce pairs beautifully with roasted vegetables, grilled chicken or poached fish. By toasting the seeds and spices first, you unlock a complex earthiness that grounds the citrusy notes of the jalapeño and herbs. Serve it warm with corn tortillas or over a bed of fluffy rice for a comforting, homemade meal that is naturally packed with minerals and healthy fats.

Ingredients for Herbed Pumpkin Seed Mole (Mole Verde con Hierbas)

140g peeled pumpkin seeds
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
1/2 teskedar torkad oregano
1 tablespoon vegetable or olive oil
1 onion, cut into wedges
5 tomatillos, husked and halved
5 garlic cloves, halved
2 jalapeño peppers, sliced
475ml chicken broth
1 packed cup coarsely chopped, fresh coriander
1 cup coarsely chopped fresh parsley
1/2 cup fresh epazote (optional)
1 tesked salt

How to make Herbed Pumpkin Seed Mole (Mole Verde con Hierbas)

In a large skillet with high sides or in a large saucepan, toast the pumpkin seeds, cumin seeds, and oregano over high heat. Toss to make sure they don't burn, but toast until fragrant, about 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and transfer to a blender or spice grinder and process until ground. Set aside.

In the same skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion, tomatillos, garlic, and jalapeños and cook until slightly browned, 4 to 5 minutes, tossing a couple of times, but not stirring too much. Carefully place the vegetables in a blender or food processor. Then add the broth, coriander, parsley, epazote (if using), and salt and process until puréed. Pour back into the skillet and add the ground pumpkin seed mixture. Let simmer until flavours are well combined, about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Serve immediately. Any leftovers can be refrigerated in an airtight container for a couple of days.
