- Fry the ground meat in a pan with garlic and salt (to taste) in low flame with a spoon of oil.
- When the meat is cooked, in the same pan put the fruit and the raisins in and fry for about 4 minutes. After leave it to cool off.
- Put the poblano peppers on the stove and let them get toasted.
- After toasting them put the peppers in water and cut them on one of the long sides. Wash away the veins and the dark toasted spots on them.
- After, stuff with the fruit and the ground meat.
- Crack open the 10 eggs but only pour the whites. Beat until it puffs up. After add the flower and the yolk beat until it reaches a yellowish point.
- Dip the whole pepper in the yellowish content that you just prepared and put in a pan to fry until light brown. Do repeatedly until done with all the peppers
Put aside for step two
[edit] Nogada
That is the white content that is poured on the top of the pepper and gives it a fascinating taste!
