Heat the oil in a large skillet. Add the ground pork and ground beef, salt, pepper, and tomato sauce. Cook until the meat is fully cooked.
Next add the fruits and nuts to the skillet, mix to combine, and cook. Make sure to chop up the filling into small pieces, small enough to fit a fork.
Place over the flame and char the skin on all sides. Then, place them in a sealable bag, letting them steam. Peel the skin, make a cut lengthwise making a pocket and remove the seeds and veins from inside the pepper.
Stuff each roasted poblano pepper with the filling. Put them in the fridge until ready to use.
Place walnuts in hot water for 5 minutes, and using a paring knife, peel the skin.
Add all the ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth. Some people like to add a pinch of sugar to the nogada sauce.
Separate the egg whites and whip up until you get stiff peaks. Add the egg yolks one at a time.
Heat the oil. Add the chile coated in egg and fry each side until golden brown. Then, place on a paper towel to drain any excess oil and remove the toothpicks.
Pour the walnut sauce all over the chile. Top with pomegranate seeds and chopped parsley leaves. Do not substitute it for cilantro, it will change the flavor.
This is the most traditional and festive dish to celebrate Mexican Independence Day on September 16th. It is considered the national dish of Mexico.
