Chiles en nogada
Chiles en nogada is a traditional Mexican dish that features poblano peppers stuffed with a mixture of meat, fruits, and spices. The filling typically includes ground beef or pork, along with ingredients like apples, peaches, and nuts, creating a sweet and savory flavor profile. The dish is often seasoned with cinnamon and cloves, adding to its rich taste.
The stuffed peppers are then topped with a creamy nogada sauce made from blended walnuts, sugar, and milk, giving it a distinctive white color. Finally, the dish is garnished with pomegranate seeds and fresh parsley, making it visually appealing and a popular choice during Mexican Independence Day celebrations.
