Step 1
Char poblanos directly over a gas flame or under the broiler until blackened all over, 3-4 minutes per side.
Step 2
Transfer to a plastic bag for 5 minutes to steam, then peel away the charred skin under cool running water.
Step 3
Carefully slit one side of each pepper and scoop out seeds, keeping the stem intact.
Step 4
Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high. Brown ground pork with diced onion, breaking up with a spoon, until no pink remains.
Step 5
Blend walnuts, crema, lime juice, and a pinch of salt until silky; pour over stuffed peppers on a plate.
Step 6
Stuff each roasted pepper with cooked pork mixture, top with walnut sauce, and scatter pomegranate seeds.
