Coche Comedor will honor Dia de los Muertos this weekend with three specials available on Saturday, October 30 and Sunday, October 31. Most notable is chiles en nogada ($15) — a poblano pepper stuffed with picadillo pork, apples, pears, peaches, walnuts, golden raisins, onions and garlic, served with walnut sauce and pomegranate seeds. Considered by many to be the national dish of Mexico, chiles en nogada showcases the colors of the country’s flag: green, white and red. Created by nuns in Puebla in 1821, the dish was presented to the general of the Mexican Army, Agustín de Iturbide, after signing the treaty that recognized Mexico’s independence from Spain. The nuns used the best of the late-season harvest in the dish, including poblano chiles, peaches, pears, apples and walnuts grown in farms near Puebla. Coche Comedor is also offering short rib barbacoa ($32) as well as arroz con leche, dolce de calabaza ($12) — creamy rice pudding with stewed sweet pumpkin and vanilla ice cream. Coche Comedor is currently open for indoor and outdoor dining and takeout Wednesday through Sunday from 5–9 p.m.
Other Halloween offerings include Amagansett’s La Fondita, which will serve traditional specials from Sunday through Tuesday, November 2. Look for chicken enchiladas with red sauce ($15), an assortment of tamales (chicken, pork, cheese) for $13 and champurrado ($4) — a chocolate-based cornmeal porridge with milk, Mexican chocolate and cinnamon. Yum!
