8 Steps to complete
-
1For the stuffing: Preheat a large sauté pan over medium heat for 1 minute. Add vegetable oil and heat for 30 seconds, add onion and garlic, cook for 1 minute. Stir constantly. Incorporate the ground meats and ham, break up ground meat with spatula, and fry for 4 minutes, add the tomatoes and continue stirring for 2 minutes. Raise to medium-high heat, pour the chicken stock. With a wooden spoon, scrape the bottom and sides of the pan to loosen up the drippings. Allow the stock to consume and dry completely.
-
2Add cloves, cumin, cinnamon, and fruits sauté for 2 minutes. Add saffron, raisins, almonds, candied pineapple, and salt. Deglaze with sherry wine, continue stirring, and allow to reduce completely about 5 minutes. Transfer stuffing to a sheet tray and allow to cool.
-
3For the sauce: Preheat a medium skillet for 1 minute, add the peeled walnuts, and toast to release the oils for approximately 2 minutes, stir constantly. Add ¼ cup of sherry wine, allow to reduce, carefully do not dry out the skillet. Remove from the heat and with a spatula, stir in ¼ cup of Sour Cream. Set aside.
-
4In a bowl, pour 2 cups of Sour Cream, add nutmeg, cinnamon, sugar, 2 tbsp. plus 1 tsp. sherry wine. Mix well and incorporate the diced bread as well as the walnut mixture. Allow 15 minutes for the bread to soften.
-
5Transfer the mixture from the bowl to the blender, cover with lid and starting at medium speed blend for 1 minute. Stop blender and add 1½ cups of Queso Fresco Cheese. Cover and blend for another 2 minutes or until ingredients are well incorporated.

6To assemble: Slightly warm the nogada sauce. Stuff the peppers with approximately ½ cup mixture.
