editProcedure
editChiles
edit- Cut the almonds in 2–4 pieces. Peel the peaches, apples, and pears, and chop them up in very tiny pieces. Set aside.
- Fry the ground meat in a pan with garlic and salt (to taste) over low heat in a spoonful of oil.
- When the meat is cooked, add the fruit and the raisins, and fry for about 4 minutes. Let cool.
- Put the poblano peppers on the stove and let them get toasted.
- After toasting them put the peppers in water and cut them on one of the long sides. Wash away the veins and the dark toasted spots on them.
- Stuff the peppers with the fruit-meat mixture.
- Crack and separate the eggs. Whip the whites until puffy, then beat in the flour and yolks until it reaches a yellowish point.
- Dip the whole pepper in the yellowish content that you just prepared and put in a pan to fry until light brown. Do repeatedly until done with all the peppers. Set aside while you make the nogada.
