This sesame and almond dish is typical of Mexico City and involves the use of Güero chilies to add a spicy touch, along with the ever-present olives and capers. There are many types of pipián, including green, white or red pipián. This thick sauce was already known in pre-Hispanic times, when Mexicans used pumpkin seeds and chili peppers in cooking fish or game.

Carbon footprint



To limit our impact on the environment, we advise you to remain within 1 kg CO2-equivalent per meal, including all the courses you eat. Bear in mind that plant-based dishes are more likely to have a low environmental impact.

Even though some of our suggestions exceed the recommended 1 kg CO2-equivalent per meal, that doesn't mean you should never make them; it's the overall balance that counts. Regularly eating a healthy and eco-friendly diet in the long term offsets even the dishes with the most impact, as long as you don't make them too often.
