Corundas & Green Mole
Traditional Michoacán corundas served with pork in green mole, made with pumpkin seeds, fresh greens and green chiles. These delicate corn tamales are the perfect accompaniment for soaking up the rich mole sauce.
Dish story
Corundas are one of the most iconic foods of traditional cuisine from Michoacán. Unlike many other Mexican tamales, they are known for their distinctive triangular shape and are usually prepared without filling, as they are intended to accompany rich stews, moles, and celebratory dishes.
Their origins date back to pre-Hispanic times, and they remain an essential part of Purépecha culinary heritage. Their mild flavor and delicate texture make them the perfect partner for absorbing complex sauces and highlighting the flavors of the main dish.
Cutzamala version
We serve traditional corn corundas alongside our pork green mole. The mole is made with pumpkin seeds, fresh green leaves, and fresh chilies, creating a vibrant, aromatic sauce full of depth and character. The corundas provide the perfect balance, allowing you to enjoy every last spoonful of the mole.
A traditional Michoacán pairing that is rarely found outside Mexico.
