Pistachio & Serrano Sauce
Roasted pistachios and chile serrano garlic and coriander. Another winner!
Dish story
The Pistachio and Serrano Chilli Sauce is an original Cutzamala creation, developed to explore new combinations between roasted nuts and traditional Mexican ingredients. The idea was to create a sauce with richness, freshness and depth, where toasted pistachios blend naturally with the vibrant flavour of fire-roasted serrano chillies. The result is a unique recipe that perfectly reflects Cutzamala's philosophy: handcrafted cooking inspired by Mexican traditions while embracing creativity.
Cutzamala version
At Cutzamala, we carefully roast the pistachios to enhance their natural aroma before blending them with fire-roasted serrano chillies, roasted garlic and fresh coriander. The result is a smooth, intensely flavoured sauce where the richness of the pistachios is balanced by the freshness of the herbs and the clean heat of the serrano chilli. A versatile original recipe that pairs beautifully with meat, fish and vegetables.
Main ingredients
Roasted pistachios give this sauce its naturally creamy texture and distinctive buttery, nutty flavour. Their richness softens the heat of the serrano chilli while adding a depth of flavour rarely found in Mexican-inspired sauces.
