Toast sesame seeds, pumpkin seeds, coriander seeds, cumin seeds, and anise seeds in a dry skillet until fragrant.

Rehydrate the guajillo and ancho chilies in hot water for about 15-20 minutes.

💡 Consigli Professionali
- ✓Roasting the vegetables and toasting the seeds are crucial for developing the deep flavor of Pepián.
- ✓If the sauce is too thick, add more chicken broth. If too thin, simmer uncovered for a bit longer.
- ✓For a spicier version, add a small amount of a hotter dried chili like arbol.
