How To Make Jocon
Easy Recipe Directions:
Cook the chicken in the water with the salt in a covered kettle until soft, about 30 minutes.
Remove the chicken and set aside. Reserve broth and soak tortillas in it. Toast the squash seeds and sesame seeds in a dry skillet over moderate to low heat until they turn a light tan color, about 10 minutes.
Prepare sauce in processor. Grind the squash and sesame seeds. Add the cilantro, scallions, tomatillos, hot chile pepper and 1 cup of the reserved broth. Add the soaked tortillas and process to a smooth paste.
Brown the chicken pieces in oil over moderate heat for 5 minutes.
Add the green sauce and the balance of the broth, about 2 cups. Simmer over low heat for 15 minutes, until the sauce is reduced to a thick, rich, green consistency.
Serve warm.
