Torta de Pipián Rojo (Bun topped with red pipián)

Pipian in Mexico is a prehispanic dish characterized by its main ingredient, roasted and ground pumpkin seeds, as well as dried chili peppers and other ingredients. The Aztecs called it "Totolín patzcalmollo", but over time this name was replaced by the Spanish term "pipián", which derives from "pipas" or "pepitas", meaning pumpkin seeds. Today there are countless ways to prepare it, and while in pre-Hispanic times pipián had a red color due to the red chilies used to prepare it, today there are other variations such as green pipián, prepared with poblanos, tomatillos and pumpkin seeds, or white pipián, prepared with almonds, sesame seeds and güero (=blond) chilies.

1 white onion in two halves

3 scallions
