  • Heat the oil in a pot, fry the onion, garlic, and tomato for 5 minutes. Add the tofu, apple, pear, and peach. Cook for 2 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and add the almond, raisins, guava paste, cinnamon, and salt. Mix and set aside in a bowl to cool.
  • Stuff the chiles with the previous mixture and close them with the help of toothpicks. Set aside in the refrigerator.
  • For the batter: Mix in a bowl the chickpea flour, REXAL® baking powder, and mineral water with a whisk until you obtain a semi-thick mixture. Dip the chile, being careful not to open it or let the filling spill out.
  • Dip the chile in a pot with hot oil and fry over medium heat for 5 minutes on both sides or until golden. Place on a plate with paper towels. Set aside.
  • For the nogada: In a blender, add the walnut along with the almond, almond milk, brown sugar, nutmeg, enough salt, and the bolillo, blend until everything is fully integrated.
  • To assemble the chile, place it on the plate and drizzle with nogada, then garnish with pomegranate and finely chopped parsley.
