    | 1. Toast the pumpkin seeds in an ungreased pan, turning them over and shaking the pan from time to time to prevent them from burning. | 2. Set them aside to cool. | 3. Grind them in an electric grinder or blender to a fine powder. | 4. Put 1 1/2 cups of the broth in a blender, gradually adding the tomatillos, sorrel, hoja santa, chopped epazote, and chiles, blending as smooth as possible. | 5. Heat the lard in a flameproof casserole in which you are going to serve the mole; fry the blended ingredients, stirring and scraping the bottom of the pan to prevent sticking for about 25 minutes. | 6. Add the rest of the epazote. | 7. Stir 1/2 cup of the broth into the pumpkin seeds until you have a smooth consistency and gradually stir into the cooked ingredients. | 8. Continue cooking over low heat, stirring constantly for 10 more minutes. | 9. Take care that the pumpkin seed mixture does not form into lumps; if this happens, put the sauce back into the blender and blend until smooth. | 10. Add any remaining broth and salt, to taste. | 11. If the sauce is too thick, add a little water to dilute. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
