Tis the Season...Chiles En Nogada

[gulfporter]

Traditional in September for Día de Independencia, I scored an early one for lunch today.  I made them once....labor intensive with a lot of finely minced dried fruit, chopped nuts and ground beef (or pork).  Sauce is creamy walnut, topped with fresh pomegranate seeds.

Only had them once. As I recall it was Patricia Quintana's recipe. I like sweet/savory combinations and enjoyed the dish - esp woth that creamy walnut sauce. Must revisit that sauce for other applications.
