Soak the walnuts in hot water for 20 minutes, peel off the skins, and rest them in milk in the refrigerator.
Roast the poblano peppers, peel them, and make a slit without removing the stems.
Chop the onion and garlic and cook with the ground beef for 8 minutes.
Add the tomatoes, apple, pear, peach, raisins, almonds, cinnamon, and salt and cook the filling for 15 minutes.
Fill the peppers with the fruit and beef mixture.
Beat the eggs, lightly coat the peppers, and fry each side in oil for 90 seconds.
Blend the walnuts, milk, and cream cheese to make the nogada sauce.
Place the peppers on a plate and serve with nogada sauce, pomegranate, and parsley.
💡 Tip: Soak the walnuts in hot water and peel them; if the skins remain, the nogada sauce tastes slightly bitter and its white color becomes dull.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve chile en nogada close to room temperature, with plain rice and lemony green salad if desired.
