Chiles en Nogada Is my latest favorite

This dish was created by a group of gourmet food loving nuns in Mexico who also developed molé

It has about 25 ingredients but can be summarized as deliciosa. It's a large mild chile stuffed with a mixture of chopped/minced meat, apple, raisins, etc fried in a fluffy batter like a chile relleno, covered with a creamy walnut sauce and sprinkled with pomegranate arials ("seeds"). 
 
The red white green mirrors the Mexican flag, which was designed and being unveiled at the same time as this dish. 

Served in restaurant last week, with red rice and chemoya. 




Made at home for dinner by our cook. 




As served last year when I was first acquainted with the dish.
