Poblano Peppers with a Creamy Goat Cheese and Walnut Sauce (Chiles en Nogada)

in #food6 years ago

This beautiful and colorful dish is from Mexico and it is as beautiful as it tastes. Normally this dish includes fruits, I normally never add them as I personally do not like the mix of fruits and meat, I just add more meat to the mix.
