Traditional food that is just around the corner

Chiles en Nogada — Mexican’s National Dish

A dish that cannot be forgotten on the Independence day

It’s almost Independence Day here in Mexico and I can’t wait to try “Chiles en Nogada”.

All-around September, you can find this traditional dish at every restaurant. For this delicious recipe you will mainly need:

• Poblano peppers (the bigger the better)
• Filling (seasoned ground beef, peach pieces or any fruit of your preference, and nuts)
• Salsa (made with cream and nuts)

And the key point is…that on top of all of this, you can find cilantro, nuts, and pomegranate seeds. This is to portray the Mexican flag (red, white, and green), truly an authentic and traditional dish. Even if it has “Chile” in its name, the taste is sweeter than you think. Many regions have their own way of making them but they have the same essence.

Hope you can one day experience this dish because oh boy, it's not just food, it's a whole experience.
