By 1821, military commander Agustin de Iturbide (who had switched sides from the Spanish Army) had signed the Treaty of Cordoba granting Mexico its independence. En route to Mexico City he stopped in the town of Puebla where a celebratory feast was held, and the nuns of the Santa Monica convent sought to prepare a special dish using what local ingredients were in season, like pomegranate and walnuts. The result was Chiles en Nogada (stuffed poblano peppers in walnut sauce), and it has remained a popular dish for 200 years. Since it incorporates the colors of the Mexican flag—red, white, and green—this labour-intensive dish is considered a very patriotic and festive recipe. Join Chef Erika Araujo of Ixiim as she shares this delicious piece of Mexican history and culture with you.
