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.
