  • Title: Chiles en Nogada (poblanos in walnut sauce)
    Categories: Beef, Vegetables, Main Dish
    Yield: 8 Servings

    10 Chiles poblanos, peeled and
    Deveined*
    Stuffing:
    1/2 kg Pork grounded
    1/2 kg Beef grounded
    1 md Onion
    1 c Red tomatoe pure
    2 Garlic cloves
    Salt and pepper
    1/2 c Acitron chopped**
    1/2 c Raisins
    1/2 c Almonds chopped
    1/2 c Pine nuts
    1 c Fresh fruits: apple, pear,
    Apricots in little cubes
    Sauce:
    2 c Walnuts peeled, without the
    Papper peel, whites.
    1 1/2 c Cream (the best cream)
    1/4 Piece cream cheese, just for
    To add flavor and consistenc
    1/2 To 3/4 cup of milk
    Sugar
    Cinamon powder
    Salt
    Adorn:
    Red pomegranate
    Parsley leaves

    *The size have to be large, if you cannot get large chiles you can use
    littles, but need to buy more, is difficult to make the exactly
    amount of chiles and stuffing.

    **acitron: a citron dried and made into sweetmeat; candied lemon.
    This is what my dictionary says, if you cannot get it do not worried,
    make the recipe with the other ingredients.

    ***The walnuts need to be peeled before, you can let them in some
    water on the refrigerator.

    Prepare the stuffing:
    In a sauce pan put vegetable oil, in the blender make a pure with
    onion and garlic, add to the vegetable oil when it is hot, let the
    onion fry until be brown (not black). Add the meats, let cook until
    the meats loose all the water and looks a little brown, add the red
    tomatoe puree, add salt and pepper and let it boil, add the fruits
    chopped and let cook until will be dry. Let cool.

    Sauce:
    Mix all in the blender until be soft and have a sauce consistency,
    try and season with salt and cinamon, this sauce will be cold over
    the stuffing chiles.

    Serve:

    Fill all the chiles with the meat, there are two ways for to serve:

    1.- Mix 4 eggs whites until be hard, add the yolks and mix, cover the
    chiles with this mix and put them to fry in some vegetable oil. let
    cool and cover with the white sauce, adorn with the pomegranate and
    some little parsley leaves.

    2.-Without using the eggs and oil, I prefer in this way, just after
    fill them put over the white sauce and adorn with the pomegranate
    just a few seeds for to add red color to the dish, because this dish
    have the mexican flag colors: green, white and red, and also adorn
    with some little parsley leaves.
