Ingredients:
Ingredients:
- 6 large poblano peppers
- 1 lb ground beef or pork
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 apple, peeled and diced
- 1 pear, peeled and diced
- 1 plantain, peeled and diced
- 1/4 cup raisins
- 1/4 cup almonds, chopped
- 1/4 cup walnuts, chopped
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ground cloves
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup walnuts
- 4 oz cream cheese
- 1/4 cup sugar
- Pomegranate seeds and chopped fresh parsley for garnish
- Roast the poblano peppers over an open flame or under the broiler until charred on all sides. Place them in a plastic bag or covered bowl to steam for 10 minutes. Peel off the charred skin, make a vertical slit, and remove the seeds, keeping the peppers whole.
- In a skillet, cook the ground meat over medium heat until browned. Add the onion and garlic and cook until softened.
- Stir in the diced apple, pear, plantain, raisins, almonds, walnuts, cinnamon, cloves, salt, and pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the fruit is tender and the flavors meld together. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Carefully stuff each poblano pepper with the meat mixture, pressing gently to fill.
- In a blender, combine the milk, heavy cream, walnuts, cream cheese, and sugar. Blend until smooth to make the walnut sauce.
- Pour the walnut sauce over the stuffed peppers and garnish with pomegranate seeds and chopped parsley.
- Serve chilled or at room temperature. Enjoy your Chiles en Nogada!
