Instructions

  1. 1 Place walnuts into a bowl and cover with milk; soak in the refrigerator 3 to 4 hours to overnight.
  2. 2 Drain walnuts and place into a food processor. Add queso fresco, sour cream, sugar, and cinnamon. Puree until completely smooth. Add milk to the food processor as necessary to make creamy. Set sauce aside.
  3. 3 Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  4. 4 Place poblano peppers onto the prepared baking sheet.
  5. 5 Broil peppers in the preheated oven until skins blacken and blister, about 10 minutes, making sure to turn peppers halfway through cooking time. Remove from the oven and place peppers directly into a plastic resealable bag. Seal and allow to sit and steam for 15 minutes.
  6. 6 Remove skins from peppers carefully by scraping them using a spoon or your fingers. Cut a slit down the long side of each pepper. Remove and discard seeds and veins and set peppers aside.
  7. 7 Heat a skillet over medium heat. Saute chorizo in the skillet for 2 to 3 minutes. Add squash blossoms and continue cooking until meat is browned and crumbly and blossoms are wilted, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in black beans and corn; cook 1 to 2 minutes more. Turn off heat and mix in Mexican cheese.
  8. 8 Stuff peppers carefully with chorizo mixture, making sure not to overstuff so that peppers can be closed completely. Set aside.
  9. 9 Place egg whites and yolks into 2 separate bowls. Whisk 1 tablespoon flour into yolks to make a paste. Beat egg whites using an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Fold beaten egg whites into yolk mixture very gently to preserve volume of egg whites.
  10. 10 Place 1 cup flour onto a plate. Dredge stuffed peppers into flour, covering all sides completely. Dip flour-covered stuffed peppers into egg mixture; entire peppers should be completely covered.
  11. 11 Heat oil in a deep-fryer or a deep, heavy pan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  12. 12 Deep-fry each pepper in the hot oil until golden, 2 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to drain grease.
  13. 13 Place cooked poblanos onto plates; pour walnut sauce over. Top with pomegranate seeds and cilantro. Serve.

  1. 1 Bring a pot of water to a boil, and stir in half the walnuts; reduce heat to medium, and boil for 1 minute. Remove nuts with a slotted spoon, and let drain in a colander set in the sink. Repeat with remaining walnuts. Rinse the walnuts under hot water, and transfer to a mixing bowl. Toss the walnuts with the sugar.
  2. 2 In an electric skillet with heat set to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C), heat the canola oil. With a metal slotted spoon, place enough nuts to cover the bottom of the skillet; the oil will sizzle and pop, so be careful to avoid spatters. Gently stir the nuts with the spoon. Fry the walnuts until golden brown, about 5 minutes per batch. Transfer the walnuts in clumps to a baking sheet.
  3. 3 Sprinkle the nuts with salt, and let cool. Store in airtight container.

  1. 1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place the walnuts on a rimmed sheet pan.
  2. 2 Toast walnuts in the preheated oven until fragrant, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer the walnuts to a plate and set aside.
  3. 3 Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt together in a medium bowl.
  4. 4 Add brown sugar and butter to the bowl of a stand mixer; cream on medium-low speed until combined. Increase speed to medium-high and beat until light and creamy, about 2 minutes. Reduce speed to medium-low and add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition and using a rubber spatula to scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl as needed.
  5. 5 Stop the mixer, add the flour mixture, and mix on low until flour is nearly incorporated. Add walnuts and continue to mix until there aren't any streaks of flour in the cookie dough.
  6. 6 Place about 1/2 of the dough in the center of a piece of parchment or waxed paper and use the paper to help you shape the dough into a 2-inch wide log. Roll the log back and forth so the sides are nicely rounded. Repeat with the remaining dough to make a second log. Set the parchment-wrapped logs on a baking sheet and freeze them until hard, about 2 hours.
  7. 7 Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  8. 8 Unwrap a log and place it on a cutting board. Use a sharp knife to slice the log crosswise into the thinnest possible rounds without having the cookies crumble apart, about 1/8- to 1/16-inch thick. Set the cookies 1 1/2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
  9. 9 Bake in the preheated oven until golden around the edges, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool for 5 minutes before using a spatula to transfer the cookies to a wire rack.
