  • For the filling, heat a skillet over medium heat with the lard and cook the onion until translucent, add the garlic and ground meat. Cook until the meat changes color and season with salt and pepper.
  • Add the banana, peach, apple, pear, raisins, almonds, pine nuts, walnut, and acitrón one by one to the meat mixture, cooking each ingredient for a few minutes before adding the next. Season with clove, cinnamon, bay leaf, thyme, oregano, salt, and add the sherry. Cook for 20 more minutes and adjust seasoning. Remove.
  • Heat a comal over medium heat, roast the chiles until “burnt,” place them in a bag to sweat for about 20 minutes. Remove from the bag and use a knife to peel off the skin, veins, and seeds. Fill the chiles with the previous preparation and close with toothpicks.
  • For the batter, in a bowl, beat the egg whites with salt until stiff peaks form, add the yolks and flour while continuing to beat. Coat the chiles with flour and dip them into the batter.
  • Heat a skillet over medium heat with oil, fry each chile until the batter is golden and remove from the frying. Remove excess fat with a Regio® Advanced paper towel.
  • For the nogada, blend all the ingredients until you obtain a smooth and creamy sauce.
  • Serve the chile with the nogada as a mirror, drizzle with a bit more nogada and decorate with pomegranate, parsley, and walnut. Enjoy.
