CHILES EN NOGADA (MEXICAN STUFFED POBLANO PEPPERS IN WALNUT SAUCE)

Steps:

• Roast poblano chiles over an open flame on a gas stove or grill until the skin is black and charred on all sides, turning often, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Place the charred chiles in a plastic bag or in a large bowl covered with plastic wrap. Allow to sit for 5 to 10 minutes, then open and peel off the skin. Cut a slit in each chile lengthwise and remove the seeds.
• Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and cook until soft and translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Add ground pork and cook until browned, breaking up with a spoon while cooking, about 7 minutes. Mix in tomatoes, plantain, apple, peach, parsley, candied orange peel, pine nuts, raisins, almonds, cloves, salt, and pepper. Simmer until filling is cooked through and flavors are well combined, about 10 minutes.
• Combine walnuts, milk, goat cheese, sugar, and cinnamon stick in a blender; blend until walnut sauce is smooth and creamy.
• Fill each poblano chile with the pork filling and place on a plate. Spoon walnut sauce over chile and sprinkle with pomegranate seeds and parsley.

CHILES IN SAUCE: CHILES EN NOGADA

Steps:

• Roast poblano chiles over open flame. Cool in a paper bag, remove skin and seeds.
• For the nogada, in a blender add the nuts, the almonds, and the fresh cheese. Control the thickness of the mix by adding milk and sherry, and season with sugar as needed. Set aside.
• In a saute pan, add the lard, onion, and garlic, then add meats and saute. Season with a little salt and pepper.
• In a mixing bowl, combine the biznaga with the clove, cinnamon, black pepper, and pour into the mix seasoning with sugar and salt.
• Blend all fruits, olives, capers, almonds, and dry sherry. When the mix is cool, stuff the chiles with it. In a mixing bowl, whisk the egg whites until foamy, then add blended yolks.
• In a frying pan, heat oil. Cover stuffed chiles with a thin coat of flour and then into the egg batter. Fry the chiles until golden brown. Turn chiles as they cook to make a nice round shape.
• Put the fried chile on a decorative platter, cover the whole chile with the nogada, and sprinkle pomegranate seeds on the top, and garnish with two sprigs of fresh parsley.
