Beef Stuffed Poblano Pepper (Chile en Nogada)
Mexican Independence Day is September 16th and is traditionally celebrated with this special dish. Poblano pepper is stuffed with a unique filling similar to picadillo that's made with ground beef and pork, plantains, raisins, apple, sliced almonds, and spices. The pepper is then topped with a walnut cream sauce and sprinkled with pomegranate seeds for a pop of color and flavor. This dish has all the colors of the Mexican flag and is emblematic of the country's pride!
