peel, seed, chop
1 One half cup Cilantro; chopped

8 Romaine lettuce leaves
destemmed; chopped
1 bn Watercress
1 bn Radish tops
1 One half teaspoon Anise seed; roasted
1 teaspoon Salt
1 teaspoon Sugar

Saute onion in oil until slightly browned. Blen pumpkin seeds, chiles and
stock to form a paste (in blender or processor). Add One half cup of the
cilantro and the remaining ingredients and puree. "Refry" this mixture in
hot peanut oil for about 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Be careful not to
overcook this or it will lose its bright green color. Return to blender and
add the remaining cilantro. Puree until smooth. Garnish with a few extra
pumpkin seeds. This green pipian goes well with pork and duck.
