  • For the stuffing: Transfer tomatoes to a blender, blend for 3 minutes, strain, and set aside. In a saucepan or pot, melt lard. Add onion and garlic and fry for 3 minutes or until translucent. Add ground pork and ground beef and fry for 3 more minutes. Add blended tomatoes and cook until liquid is reduced by half. Add cinnamon, clove, thyme, oregano, almonds, pine nuts, peaches, plantain, peaches, candied fruits, and raisins. Cook for 15 more minutes or until all the flavors meld. Season with salt and pepper. Let cool at room temperature and set aside.
  • Stuff Poblano chiles with the previous mixture. Secure with toothpicks and set aside in the fridge.
  • For the batter: Separate egg whites and egg yolks. Whisk egg whites into snow. Fold egg yolks one by one into the egg whites. Sift salt and flour into the mixture and fold.
  • Coat each Poblano chile with flour and dip in batter.
  • In a deep skillet or pot with plenty of hot oil, fry battered Poblano chiles until evenly brown. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate to remove excess oil. Set aside.
  • For the nogada: In a blender, combine walnuts, a bit of walnut soaking milk, sherry, goat cheese, and sugar. Season with salt and blend until smooth.
  • Serve one stuffed Poblano chile on a plate and spoon nogada over. Garnish classic chile en nogada with pomegranate and parsley.
