Preparation Method

  1. Start by roasting the Poblano peppers on a high heat in your griddle pan until their skins has turned black and charred on all sides, turning often.
  2. Place the cooked peppers into a large bowl and cover and allow to rest for 10 minutes before opening and peeling off the skin. Cut a slit into each of the peppers lengthwise and remove the seeds.
  3. In a large pot over a medium heat, add the onion and garlic and cook until soft and translucent. When translucent, add the ground pork and cook until browned, breaking with a spoon while cooking.
  4. Mix together the tomatoes, plantain, apple, peach, parsley, orange peel, pine nuts, raisins, almonds, cloves, salt and pepper, allowing to simmer until thoroughly cooked all the way through, this should take around 10 minutes.
  5. With a blender, combine the walnuts, milk, goats’ cheese, cinnamon stick and sugar and combined until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
  6. Take each of the prepared peppers and fill with the pork filling before covering with the walnut sauce, sprinkling with pomegranate seeds and parsley to serve.
