Ingredients
- 6 poblano peppers
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 cube of chorizo
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 apple, peeled and diced
- 1 pear, peeled and diced
- 1/2 cup pecans, chopped
- 1/4 cup raisins
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon allspice
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
- 1 cup walnuts, soaked for 4 hours
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pomegranate seeds for garnish
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- 1Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- 2Roast the poblano peppers directly over your stove flame or in the oven until charred all over. Place them in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap to steam for 10–15 minutes.
- 3In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion and garlic, and sauté until soft.
- 4Add the ground beef and chorizo, cooking until browned; drain excess fat.
- 5Stir in the diced apple and pear, chopped pecans, raisins, cinnamon, allspice, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional 5 minutes until the fruit is tender. Set aside to cool.
- 6Once the peppers are cool enough to handle, peel the skin off, making sure to keep them whole. Carefully make a slit on one side and remove the seeds.
- 7Stuff each poblano pepper with the picadillo mixture, pressing gently to fill completely.
- 8For the nogada (walnut sauce), blend the soaked walnuts, milk, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Adjust thickness with more milk if necessary, and season with salt to taste.
- 9Serve the stuffed peppers drizzled with walnut sauce, garnished with pomegranate seeds and parsley.
