PAPADZULES : MAYAN EGG ENCHILADAS WITH PUMPKIN SEED SAUCE
This is a pre-Hispanic recipe. Warm corn tortillas are filled with hard-boiled eggs and topped with a creamy pumpkin seed sauce and accompanied with Chiltomate: a spicy Habanero and tomato salsa. The chiltomate can be made up to 6 hours ahead and warmed before serving. The hard-boiled eggs can be made up to a day or two ahead. Prep time does not include the time for cooking the eggs.

PAPADZULES (ROLLED TORTILLAS WITH PUMPKIN SEED SAUCE)
In 1970, Craig Claiborne took a Mexican cooking class at the New York City home of Diana Kennedy, where he learned how to make these papadzules, a Yucatecan dish of rolled tortillas with pepitas (pumpkin seeds). After the death of her husband, Paul Kennedy, a reporter for The New York Times, and with encouragement from editors in New York to write a book, Ms. Kennedy moved to Mexico to record its culinary diversity. As Mr. Claiborne noted in his 1970 article, a coffee grinder works best for puréeing the pepitas here, but the best way to coax the rich oil out of the seeds is by hand. (Tejal Rao)

Steps:
- Place 3 cups water in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Add 1 tablespoon salt and the tomatoes. Let simmer until tomatoes are soft, about 8 minutes.
- Drain the tomatoes and reserve the water in which they cooked.
- When the tomatoes are cool enough to handle, remove and discard the skins. Carefully scoop out the seeds and squeeze them to extract the juice. Discard the seeds. Add the juice to the tomato pulp, and mash or blend to make a purée. Set this aside.
- Meanwhile, place the chiles on a piece of aluminum foil and broil under a flame, turning frequently, until they are lightly toasted all over.
- Heat the lard and add the chopped onion. Cook slowly, stirring, until onion is translucent. Add the tomato mixture, the sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of salt and toasted chiles. Do not split open the chiles, as the seeds add heat. Simmer the mixture over low heat for about 15 minutes. Set the sauce aside.
- Add the epazote, if available, to the water in which the tomatoes cooked. Simmer 3 minutes and set aside. Let it cool slightly.
- Place the pepitas in a skillet and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until they are lightly toasted. Do not let them burn (the seeds pop explosively as they cook). Set the pepitas aside to cool.
- Grind the pepitas until fine - the finer the better - or blend them (see note). Place them in a shallow dish and add a little of the warm epazote water, stirring with fingers to make a stiff paste. Continue kneading and squeezing the mixture with your fingers while adding about 1/4 cup of the warm liquid, until the paste becomes shiny and a dark color. Continue working and squeezing the paste between your fingers, and you will note that drops of oil accumulate from the paste. Once this state is reached, the oil accumulates quickly. If you tip the plate, the oil can be scooped out. About 2 tablespoons of the green oil should be separated from the paste and set aside.
- Slowly stir the remaining epazote liquid into the paste with a wooden spoon. Stir constantly until the sauce is smooth and creamy. Add salt to taste. At this point the sauce may be warmed over very low heat, but it is important that papadzules are served lukewarm.
- To assemble the dish, dip the tortillas, one at a time, into the pumpkin seed sauce. Spoon chopped egg down the center of each tortilla as each is prepared. Roll the tortillas loosely and arrange the rolls side by side in a serving dish. Pour the remaining pumpkin seed sauce over all. Spoon the tomato sauce across the center of the dish, and sprinkle the 2 tablespoons green oil over the top. Serve lukewarm.

- Blend tomatoes, water, onion, garlic, vinegar, chile, and 1 teaspoon salt in a blender until smooth (use caution with hot liquids).
- Heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a large heavy saucepan over medium- high heat until it shimmers, then add sauce and simmer, partially covered, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, about 10 minutes.
- Make pumpkin-seed sauce:
- Toast pumpkin seeds in a dry 12-inch heavy skillet over medium heat, stirring, until all seeds have expanded but are still green, 5 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a bowl to cool slightly.
- Coarsely chop 1/4 cup pumpkin seeds and set aside. Bring water, epazote, onion, garlic, and 1 1/4teaspoons salt to a boil in a small saucepan. Blend this mixture with remaining 1 3/4 cups pumpkin seeds in 2 batches in cleaned blender until smooth (use caution with hot liquids), about 5 minutes, transferring to a heavy medium saucepan. Season with salt.
- Make filling:
- Cook zucchini and onion in 2 tablespoons oil in heavy skillet over medium heat, stirring, until softened, 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper, then remove from heat. Add eggs, gently tossing to combine.
- Fry and fill tortillas:
- Heat remaining cup oil in a 10-inch heavy skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers, then soft-fry tortillas, 1 at a time, turning over once with tongs, until softened (not crisp or browned), 5 to 10 seconds. Transfer to paper towels to drain, blotting both sides, then stack tortillas to keep moist.
- Preheat oven to 350°F with rack in middle. 3Working with 1 tortilla at a time, dip in pumpkin-seed sauce to coat both sides, then transfer to a plate. Spoon 2 to 3 tablespoons egg filling down middle of tortilla, then roll up and arrange in a 13- by 9-inch baking dish.
- Cover with foil and bake until heated thourough, 15 to 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, reheat sauces over low heat, stirring pumpkin-seed sauce frequently, just until hot. (Thin pumpkin-seed sauce with water if very thick.)

Steps:
- 1. Prepare the tomato sauce. Then, in a large dry skillet, toast the pumpkin seeds, stirring, until aromatic, starting to brown, and popping around in the pan, 3 to 4 minutes. Reserve on a plate to cool. 2. In the same pan, heat 2 tablespoons of oil over medium heat and cook the onion until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook 1 minute. Transfer to a blender. (Save the skillet for later use.) 3. To the blender, add the reserved pumpkin seeds, epazote, chile, and 1/2 cup of the broth. Process to a thick paste. Add the remaining chicken broth, a little at a time, blending after each addition to a thick smooth sauce. Transfer the sauce to a medium nonstick skillet and cook over low heat, stirring frequently, until it simmers, 3 to 4 minutes. Do not boil, or the sauce might curdle. (If it does, blend again.) Cover and reserve in the pan, off heat. 4. Reheat the tomato sauce. In a medium nonstick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil, and soften the tortillas, 1 at a time on both sides until warm and limp. Stack on a plate. To assemble, dip each tortilla in the pumpkin seed sauce to coat both sides. Lay the coated tortilla on a plate. Put a small portion of the chopped egg along the center of each tortilla, roll, and lay seam side down on a warm platter. Repeat until all are dipped, filled, and rolled. To serve, put 2 stuffed tortillas on each of 4 plates. Top with heated tomato sauce. Serve hot.From "1,000 Mexican Recipes." Copyright 2001 by Marge Poore.
