Ingredients

• 2 large poblano peppers
• 150g walnuts, soaked in water for 2 hours
• 100g cooked quinoa
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 medium tomato, diced
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp nutmeg
• Salt to taste
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 cup almond milk
• 1 tbsp agave syrup
• 1/4 cup pomegranate seeds for garnish
• Fresh parsley for garnish

Steps

1. 1. Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F).
2. 2. Roast the poblano peppers on a baking sheet for 20 minutes, turning occasionally, until the skin is charred. Remove from the oven, place in a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let them steam for about 10 minutes.
3. 3. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sauté until translucent.
4. 4. Add the diced tomato, cooked quinoa, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt to the skillet. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
5. 5. Peel the charred skin off the poblano peppers carefully, making a slit on one side to remove the seeds. Stuff each pepper with the quinoa mixture.
6. 6. For the nogada sauce, drain the soaked walnuts and blend them with almond milk and agave syrup until smooth and creamy. Adjust the consistency with extra almond milk if needed.
7. 7. To serve, place the stuffed peppers on a plate, drizzle generously with nogada sauce, and garnish with pomegranate seeds and fresh parsley.
