Elaboration Of Chiles En Nogada, Dish Of The Independence Of Mexico
Melina Hernandez Valerio, originally from Tehuacan, Puebla, seasons some ingredients for the preparation of Chiles en Nogada in Mexico City, on the eve of the national holidays in September to commemorate the 213 Years of the Independence of Mexico. Chiles en Nogada are made with poblano chili stuffed with ground pork, tomato, some fruits such as apple, banana, peach, pear, raisins, almonds, and spices. They are bathed in a walnut sauce known as Nogada (based on goat cheese, cream walnut, sherry, spices), decorated with pomegranate grains and parsley leaves. (Photo by Gerardo Vieyra/NurPhoto)
