  • Roast the chiles over direct heat, making sure not to char them too much. Place them in a plastic bag to sweat for 5 minutes. Then peel them and open them on one side to remove veins and seeds, being careful not to tear them.
  • In a large skillet, add a little oil and fry them slightly, then immediately add 1/4 cup of water, salt, and a bunch of herbs, cover and cook for 3 minutes. Dry them and set aside.
  • FOR THE FILLING: Place the meat in a pot, cover with water and cook with 1/2 onion, 2 garlic cloves, and salt. Once it boils, lower the heat and cook slowly for 40 minutes.
  • Drain the meat and reserve the broth. In another pot, sauté the chopped onion with the garlic in the oil, add the meat. In a mortar, crush the pepper, clove, and cinnamon. Incorporate into the meat along with the fruits, pears, and peaches.
  • Sauté the chopped tomatoes and add to the meat, cook for 10 minutes and adjust the salt, it should be a dry mixture. Use this to fill the chiles and arrange them on a platter.
  • FOR THE NOGADA: Soak the walnuts in milk for 2 hours. Blend the walnuts with all the ingredients (white bread, fresh cheese, heavy cream, salt, sugar, and cinnamon) until a smooth paste is achieved, add salt and sugar if necessary.
  • Pour the sauce over the chiles at the moment of serving and garnish with chopped parsley and pomegranate.
