Roasted poblano chillies are filled with a rich, subtly sweet picadillo of pork, fruit, nuts, and spices, then blanketed with a creamy walnut sauce. The final shower of pomegranate and parsley gives the dish its signature freshness, colour, and celebratory finish.

Silky, smoky, and gently rich, Rajas con Crema combines roasted poblano strips with sweet corn, tender onion, and a creamy cheese-laced sauce. It is mild to moderately warm, deeply comforting, and quick enough for an easy weeknight meal.

These tamales de rajas are soft, aromatic parcels of tender masa wrapped around smoky roasted poblano strips, sweet corn, and onion scented with epazote. The coconut oil keeps the masa rich and delicate while letting the roasted chile filling remain the star.
