Febrero is the month for Amor. We all have our favorite foods to celebrate with our loved ones, especially Mexican desserts, like a creamy flan. My personal favorite are Chiles en Nogada.
I tasted Chiles en Nogada while in Mexico, attending a cooking class. The dish is so pretty to look at, and it has a wonderful balance of spicy, yet sweet flavors. The recipe begins with roasting and stuffing pobalno chiles. The stuffing includes beef, apples, pears, and raisins, topped with a creamy nutty sauce, and adding a final touch of pomegranate seeds.
Chiles en Nogada are the national dish of Mexico, and normally served during Mexican Independence day, as the dish reflects the colors of the Mexican flag. I like it cuz it is a fun and tasteful dish to impress your family. This recipe is inspired by "Lorencita" the mother of Maria Marquez, grandmother of Patrica Merrill, owner of Mexican Cooking Vacation in San Miguel de Allende.
