- This is one of the famous dishes of Mexico: large, dark green chilies poblanos stuffed with a pork meat picadillo and covered with a walnut sauce. It is decorated with red pomegranate seeds and the large-leafed Italian parsley.
- The recipe is said to have been concocted by the grateful people of Puebla, who were giving a banquet in honor of Don Agustin de Iturbide's saint's day, August 28 in 1821. He and his followers had led he final revolt against Spanish domination; as self-proclaimed emperor he had just signed the Treaty of Cordoba.
- All the dishes at the banquet were concocted of ingredients of the colors of the Mexican flag; in this dish were the green chilies, the white sauce, and the red pomegranate seeds.
