About Chiles en Nogada
Gabriela Zaputovich presents this family rendition of chiles en nogada through Mexico in My Kitchen. It follows the Puebla-style battered preparation described in her notes, with poblano peppers enclosing a pork-and-beef filling enriched with fruit and nuts.
Cloves, cinnamon and garlic season the meat, while plantain, apple, pear, peach and raisins provide sweetness. The nogada combines walnuts with goat cheese, milk and sweet sherry.
The fried, filled peppers are covered with smooth walnut sauce and finished with pomegranate seeds and parsley. The recipe offers room-temperature service for the richly filled, garnished peppers.
