Traditional Chiles en Nogada 🇲🇽🎉

Chiles en nogada are my favorite dish. I remember the first time I tried them, I fell in love like never before. Every year, I make them with my mom and we enjoy them as a family. I’m not someone who sticks to just one recipe—I love to innovate a little, and this is my version. I hope you like it.

Steps

1 1/2 hours
  1. 1

    Wash the poblano peppers, dry them with a towel, and roast them on a griddle over medium heat until well charred on all sides. Place them in a sealed plastic bag to steam for a few minutes—this will make them easier to peel. Peel off the skins, then make a small slit down the center and use a spoon to remove the veins and seeds. Be careful not to tear the peppers so they can be stuffed.

  2. 2

    Before cooking the meat, make sure all your vegetables and fruits are washed, peeled if needed, and diced. In a large skillet, sauté the finely chopped onion and garlic. Add the ground beef and pork. Once cooked, add the diced tomatoes and cook for 5 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, nutmeg, cinnamon, cumin, and garlic powder.

    Next, add the diced apples, peaches, fried plantain, and pear. The plantain can be added raw or fried, but fried is preferred. Cook for 10 minutes, then add tomato puree as needed—the mixture should not be too soupy or too dry.

  4. 4

    Add the dried fruits, cranberries, pine nuts, and sliced almonds. Cook for 10 more minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning—the flavor should be slightly sweet with a well-seasoned base.

  5. 5

    For the nogada, blend the heavy cream, cheese, wine, walnuts, pecans, almonds, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and sugar. Gradually add the milk as needed until the sauce is slightly thick.

  6. 6

    Stuff the peppers with the meat filling and cover generously with nogada sauce. Top with pomegranate seeds and parsley. Serve with rice or bread if you like. Note: Heat the peppers and meat separately; the nogada sauce should be served cold or at room temperature to prevent it from curdling. The pomegranate should also be fresh. You can pair this dish with a Merlot or Cabernet red wine.
