View ProfileMexican Independence Day is September 16th and is traditionally celebrated with this special dish. Poblano pepper is stuffed with a unique filling similar to picadillo that's made with ground beef and pork, plantains, raisins, apple, sliced almonds, and spices. The pepper is then topped with a walnut cream sauce and sprinkled with pomegranate seeds for a pop of color and flavor. This dish has all the colors of the Mexican flag and is emblematic of the country's pride!

Personal chef and cooking instructor in Austin, TX. My specialty covers foods from South America to North America. I'm motivated by the stories behind cooking and expressing that story into the flavor of the food. In 2017, my brother and I created Yuyo Peruano restaurant as a celebration of my culinary immersion throughout South America, where I connected with the people and the culinary community from Bolivia, Peru, Argentina, and Uruguay. I was recognized by the James Beard Foundation with a Best Chef nomination in 2019. Due to covid Yuyo closed with many other opportunities to cook for many more than I could have imagined through CookUnity.
