In traditional Guatemalan weddings, in Mayan families specially, the one thing you will have for sure, after the bride and groom, is the delicious spicy Pepian.
This is a kind of stew made out of several spices such as round and black pepper, cinnamon, dried and sweet chiles, cilantro, sesame seed, etc., boiled in chicken or beef broth and thickened with flour, and served with chicken, pork or beef, and even sometimes with the 3 meats!
You first roast all of the ingredients in a clay pan while you cook the meats, and carrots, green squash and potatoes. Then, reserving the meats and vegetables, the spices are thrown into the broth and this is thickened with darkened flour until a heavy soup point is reached.
People that love hot spicy food like to add jalapeños or other hot chiles.
This is served with rice and eaten with the traditional corn tortillas.
