View ProfileSlow-roasted chicken thighs are topped with Chef Akhtar's fresh take on a classic pipian (a.k.a. pumpkin seed) mole. If you've never tried pipian green mole, you will love the nutty freshness of this delectable sauce. It is served with a light and fresh quinoa salad full of peppers, zucchini, and corn.
