I hope this recipe comes close to the pumpkin seed dip you had in the Yucatan.

When I was in Playa del Carmen in the Yucatan state of Mexico last February I had lunch in my favorite Mayan restaurant there called Yaxche (meaning tree of life.) I have been thinking constantly about the absolutely delicious pumpkin seed dip they served with tortilla chips. I am delighted to find the recipe here, and can’t wait to get my hands on some pumpkin seeds so I can try this recipe!
Thank you!

[...] Pumpkin seed pave: I’ve been meaning to try a recipe from Apple Pie, Patis, Pâté for a while, and I’m glad I did! Somehow with all of the food, it flew under the radar. On the other hand, that meant MORE FOR ME! I thought it was absolutely awesome. I added some cocoa powder on the top, but aside from that I followed the recipe. [...]

shame on me, for I threw away the pumpkin seeds… what a waste especially seeing that they can be transformed to such a wonderful looking dip ^_^

Tanna, Natashya – It’s an excellent book. Being from Chicago, I should have a few Rick Bayless books but it seems to be the only Mexican cookbook I need for now. So extensive.

Jessica, Sweetbird – I actually bought the hulled pumpkin seeds in this recipe, but fresh pumpkin seeds should be toasted in the oven until crispy to make hulling easier.

Squawkfox – Cooking came first, and I can’t eat photos, so yeah.

Bellini – Thanks for the great event!

Amber – I like the habanero for its unique flavor, but it is a bit much for some. Seeded jalapenos should bring the heat down a few notches.

I love pumkin seeds, especially on salads. But oooh this sounds good. I am glad you gave options for the habenero, they are just a lot too hot for me. Yes I meant to say it that way. I think this is the first Mayan recipe I have ever seen. Thanks
