  From Jacqueline Higuera McMahon.

  To make the mole: Place tomatillos and broth in a deep
  saucepan, partially cover and simmer for 5 minutes. Cool
  down in the broth for 15 minutes. Reserve the broth.

  In a large saute pan that you can later use for simmering
  the pipian sauce, toast the pumpkin seeds until golden and
  puffed. Remove to a wide bowl to cool down. When cool,
  grind the toasted seeds in a spice grinder or a coffee
  grinder. A food processor works moderately well.

  In a blender, combine the cooked tomatillos (reserve the
  broth), the ground pumpkin seeds, the garlic, onion,
  cilantro, cumin, jalapeno with seeds, serrano, romaine
  lettuce and salt. Add a cupful of the broth used for the
  tomatillos and puree to a sauce. You can keep adding the
  reserved broth until sauce is the consistency of heavy
  cream.

  Heat the olive oil in the skillet used for toasting seeds
  and pour in the pipian sauce. Simmer for 10 minutes. Add
  the browned pork or cooked chicken and continue to simmer
  for 20 minutes, to soak up the flavors of the pipian. Keep
  for the next day as the flavors keep improving, or serve
  immediately with lots of tortillas or a rice dish.

  * Note: Pepitas, or pumpkin seeds, are traditionally used
  to thicken sauces in Mexico. You can find hulled pumpkin
  seeds in Whole Foods, Trader Joe's and other markets. Stay
  away from the purchased green powder made up of unhulled
  pepitas, which makes a grittier sauce without the richness
  of hulled seeds.
