Guatemalan Cuisine: Pepián
The easiest way to get authentic traditional Guatemalan cuisine is to get a daily menu special at your local diner. For instance, this meal known as Pepián, quite possibly Guatemala’s National Dish, was part of the daily menu special which included a fresco, drink made from blended natural fruits, sugar and water (more watery than a licuado), rice and tortillas, all for Q25. This meal can be had at Comedor Típico Antigüeño, right on Alameda Santa Lucía, right across from the Municipal Market of La Antigua Guatemala.
Could somebody share the recipe for Pepián with the rest of us? Thanks!

Oh yum! Again with the food!
I love pepian and I’m suddenly feeling hungry!
I love pepian and have looked at many recipes on the internet, but they’re all so different it’s hard to know which would be the closest to the flavor I associate with Antigua (and this great photo). I have a feeling the secret may be cooking it in the earthenware pot over a fire…hard to duplicate…..
I do hope that someone has a recipe to share. The pepian would be such a great
treat on a cold, dreary winter day!
I made Pepian dulce and it was delicious! I love the practice of using ground up toasted squash seeds (pepitoria) as a thickener. There are great Guatemalan recipes in the book “False Tongues and Sunday Bread” by Copeland Marks (available from Amazon.com). It’s 40 bucks but worth every penny!
Rudy, your posts are always so interesting! I didn’t know anything about this dish until today! hehehe
It looks so right for a cold day like we’re having in Spain nowadays!
Have a nice week
¡Rudy ya rompió la dieta muchá!
Good post brother. But, in Antigua, the most renowned Pepian is “Pepian Negro”. For those looking for “recetas chapinas”, sans the English translation, here you have them:

@Mario, lamentablemente no me da el tiempo para traducir al español las cerca de 1,100 páginas del sitio de AntiguaDailyPhoto. Lo que te recomiendo es que cuándo encuentres una página que te interese, la traduzcas al castellano usando el traductor de Google. La dirección te la dejo abajo.
