Instructions for Chiles En Nogada

CHILE PREPARATION

1 Put chiles poblanos (and you Must use this type of chili) straight into a fairly high flame or under a broiler and let the skin blister and burn. Turn the chiles from time to time so they do not get overcooked or burn right through.

2 Wrap the chiles in a damp cloth or plastic bag and leave them for about 20 minutes. The burned skin will then flake off very easily and the flesh will become a little more cooked in the steam. Make a slit in the side of each chili and carefully remove the seeds and veins. Be careful to leave the top of the chili, the part around the base of the stem, intact. (If the chilies are too hot - picante, let them soak in a mild vinegar and water solution for about 30 minutes.) Rinse the chilies and pat them dry.

3 In a sauce pan, heat oil and fry onions until soft. Add chopped garlic and herbs. Mix well and cook for a minute. Add chiles and let simmer for 1 minute. Add water and vinegar, let simmer for 2 more minutes. Set aside and let chiles marinate for 2 hours.
