  • Place the chiles on the stove over direct heat to char and burn their skin; once they are black, put them in a plastic bag and let them sweat or rest for 20 minutes.
  • Remove the bag and, using a knife, remove the charred layer and make a cut down the middle to clean out the seeds and veins. Set aside.
  • For the filling, place the lard in a deep skillet, add the chopped onion and garlic, and once the onion looks transparent, add the meats and cook for 5 minutes.
  • Add the almonds, raisins, candied fruit, and the fruit. Cook until the fruit is soft and the meat is cooked, for about 20 minutes. Season and set aside.
  • For the nogada, add the white wine, almonds, and walnuts to a small pot over medium heat and cook until the white wine reduces, about 10 minutes. Add the nutmeg and cool. Blend together with the cream, cheese, and sugar.
  • Stuff the chiles with the meat, cover with the nogada sauce, and decorate with parsley and pomegranate.
