¡Viva México! 🇲🇽
Today, we celebrate Mexican Independence Day with a dish that carries a little piece of Mexico’s history with it: Chile en Nogada.
Tradition traces the dish to Puebla in 1821, around the time Mexico achieved its independence. The story goes that Augustinian nuns prepared it in honor of Agustín de Iturbide, using the colors of the Ejército Trigarante: green from the chile and parsley, white from the walnut-based nogada, and red from the pomegranate. Historians note that versions of chiles with fruit and walnut sauces existed earlier, so the exact origin is part history, part legend—but its connection to Mexico’s independence celebrations has endured for generations.
Our Chile en Nogada brings together the poblano chile, rich nogada and bright pomegranate in one of Mexico’s most recognizable seasonal dishes.
Food, history and tradition on one plate. Come taste tradition!
Feliz Día de la Independencia. ¡Viva México! 🇲🇽
