From now through September, the classic dish to order in Mexican restaurants is chile en nogada, a stuffed bell pepper bathed in white walnut sauce sprinkled with bits of pomegranate. The dish was first served by nuns in Puebla to Agustin Iturbide during his brief reign as Agustin I. Iturbide has been credited with winning Mexican independence and then giving the country not only its flag but also its name. He died before a firing squad.
