If you ask my family, they'll tell you the best chiles en nogada are the ones I make. Without false modesty, I can say this is my signature dish, with a flavor leaning toward the sweet side. This dish is a must-have for our September celebrations and is a symbol of Mexican Independence festivities. Here’s my recipe to share with you.

Steps

  1. 1

    The next day, roast the poblano peppers and place them in a plastic bag. Peel the peppers and remove the seeds. Stuff them with the meat filling.

  5. 5

    Note: At this step, you can batter and fry the chiles if you like, but we prefer them without batter.

  6. 6

    In a blender, combine the walnuts with the liqueur, cheese, cinnamon, and sugar until you have a smooth paste (add a little milk if needed to blend, but don’t let it get too runny). Add this mixture to the sour cream and mix well.

  7. 7

    Serve the chiles at room temperature. Pour the nogada sauce over them, sprinkle with pomegranate seeds, a little parsley or chives, and the crumbled cheese. You can arrange the toppings to resemble the Mexican flag or scatter them so every bite has a mix of flavors. Enjoy!

Una actividad que me relaja y además me permite compartir y demostrar mi cariño es cocinar.Probar nuevos sabores, explorar platillos de otras latitudes, son cosas que disfruto mucho, pero no siempre se puede asistir a los lugares donde preparan lo que se nos antoja porque están lejanos, y viajar tan frecuente no siempre es posible, entonces hay que buscar opciones y una de ellas es aprender a preparar esos platillos y lo mejor de todo es cuando lo compartes con tu familia y/o amigos. Cocinarles es una de las formas que me gusta apapacharlos (abrazar con el alma) y demostrarles que los amo🥧💕🥘💖🍝💞🍳
