Once again we had reached our beloved date of the Independence of Mexico. And of course, you had to celebrate! We already had the tequila and mezcal, the waters, the pozole, the tamales, the tostadas and even the coconut-stuffed lemons for dessert. The table was practically ready and our visiting guests from Mexico had arrived. But unfortunately, something very important was missing to look good. The chiles en nogada! National Holidays without the basic dish, there is no joke. Well no, but looking for poblano peppers in Athens, Greece is in\u2026 Greek. How to make chiles en nogada without poblano pepper? I tell you how we prepare them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The rush made us think and our heads hard, to search. The first thing that occurred to us was to go to our tianguis<\/a> favorite that gets on Tuesdays in the area. Of course, we were not looking for poblanos but something that could take its place. Without many options, we chose a pepper that made us more suitable to make the dish and we crossed our fingers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Roasting our Fl\u00f3rina pepper<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The pepper of our choice is known as "Fl\u00f3rina" because it is from the place of the same name, a region of Greece. The Florina pepper is red when ripe and is red most of the year. We were struck by the fact that at this time, this same pepper is green, because it has not yet ripened. Our reasoning was that it is the color we are looking for, since poblano peppers are of this color. We think that the grains of pomegranate decorating a red chili ... of course not, and anyway, we would need a color to get to have those of the flag! His skin seemed to have the right texture and it only remained to find out if his flavor would be the desired one. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We put a good amount in a bag and walked around the stalls to buy the other ingredients. One by one, we put the pomegranates, walnuts, pine nuts, raisins and the other elements that would give us a succulent dish, like the one we made in Mexico, into our cart. The only bet was our \u201cpoblano pepper\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once home, we got to work, emptying our shopping cart, first of all. These are the ingredients we use:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dried and fresh fruits<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
