It is that time of year again.....time for the traditional Mexican Independence Day dish of Chiles en Nogada. A couple of years ago I wrote about them here.The poblanos are looking great in the mercado and the pomegranates are available too. Last week I had Chiles en Nogada twice.
First taste test was at the restaurant at the Quinto Loreto Hotel. They were very good. Next I tried Don Felix at Fray Juan de San Miguel #15 in Colonia San Rafael. The picture above was the chile at Don Felix. These were excellent. Stuffed full of a wonderful meat, fruit and nut mixture. The walnut sauce was just perfect.
At a dinner party I also had a wonderful chile relleno filled with the same spicy-fruity meat mixture but it was smothered in a smokey roasted tomato sauce.
I'm still craving Chiles en Nogada. Tell me about the best ones you have eaten.

That dish looks absolutely delicious. I have a cookbook of Frida's recipes and that definitely is one of them. I will have to try it some time. Great picture.
I would love to tell you but I have never had them! I don't think they are very common here in the Yucatan. Or at least not on the island. Would love to try them sometime.
Thanks Glorv1.
Isla Gringo, it really is a traditional Mexican Independence Day dish. The colors of the Mexican flag...green poblano, white walnut sauce and red pomegrante seeds. Of course, the Yucatan has its own wonderful cuisine.
