Chiles En Nogada

Source: https://cocinadelirante.com

As it is arguably one of the most patriotic of all the Mexican delicacies here (since all three colors of the country’s flag, green, white, and red, appears on the dish), Chiles en nogada should definitely be part of your “to eat” list during your trip to Mexico.

The “green” component of this complex dish comes from the poblano chillies that are stuffed with a mixture (picadillo) of ground meat, chopped fruits, and crushed spices. The “white” on the other hand, comes by way of the decadent, walnut-based cream sauce; while the sweet and tangy pomegranate seeds provide the touch of “red” to complete the colors of the Mexican flag.

The flavorful creation was first plated for the pleasure of Don Agustin de Iturbide, who was the country’s liberator and later, Emperor.
