PISTACHIO GREEN MOLE (MOLE VERDE DE PISTACHE)
Many Mexican moles require hours of cooking and a laundry list of ingredients, but this green mole does not. This vibrant vegan version is made with herbs, baby spinach and pistachios, and the sauce comes together in about 30 minutes. This recipe calls for zucchini or summer squash, but feel free to swap in another roasted vegetable, depending on the season. The chef Enrique Olvera included it in his "Tu Casa Mi Casa" cookbook to show how fresh and seasonal a mole can be.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Place the squash on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper and toss to coat. Roast until lightly brown, about 15 to 25 minutes.
- Meanwhile, make the mole: In a pot, heat the grapeseed oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the chiles and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the tomatillos and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, 5 to 8 minutes.
- Add 2/3 cup water and the pistachios and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and transfer to a blender along with the cilantro, hoja santa and spinach. Blend until smooth, about 3 minutes. Season with salt to taste.
- Serve the mole warm, with the roasted zucchini. Top with greens and serve rice and tortillas alongside.

Steps:
- 1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, red onion, tomatillos, chiles and garlic and toss, making sure everything is evenly coated with oil. Transfer to an aluminum-lined sheet tray and place on the middle rack under a broiler, gently stirring occasionally, until all the vegetables are deeply charred but not burnt, 25 to 30 minutes. 2. Remove the sheet tray from the oven and transfer the vegetables to a medium saucepan placed over medium-high heat. Add the cinnamon, cumin, cloves and stock. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes. Add the pistachios and cilantro and cook for an additional 10 minutes. 3. Working in batches, purée the mixture in a blender on high speed until smooth. Season with salt; cool, then refrigerate or freeze until needed. Serve with grilled whole fish or braised chicken legs.
