It's Chiles en Nogada season at Hugo's!

This is one of Mexico’s – and specifically, the state of Puebla’s – most iconic signature dishes, one we feature on the menu each year throughout walnut and pomegranate season. This year, Chef Hugo Ortega is offering this amazing dish at three of his restaurants - Hugo’s, Caracol and Xochi - for the month of September only!

Stories say that nuns in Hugo’s hometown of Puebla, Mexico created the dish in 1821 for the visiting Mexican Army General Agustin de Iturbide in honor of the Treaty of Cordoba, which gave Mexico its independence. The red pomegranate seeds, green poblano chile and white walnut sauce give this dish the colors of the Mexican flag, which make it very patriotic!

The Chile en Nogada features shredded pork mixed with red and green apples, pears, peaches, plantains, almonds and raisins stuffed into a poblano pepper and topped with savory walnut sauce, garnished with pomegranate seeds and parsley. Cost is $28 plus tax (two peppers, served with white rice).
