SAUTEED NOPALES RECIPE RECIPES

Steps:

• If cactus paddles still have thorns, grasp with a gloved hand or pair of tongs and shave with a sharp knife (be sure to peel just the thorns). Rinse under cold water.
• To cut nopales, hold paddle in your hand and shave off 2-inch-long slivers with a knife, turning paddle every few cuts so that pieces remain uniform.
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add nopales and half of the chopped onions. Boil briskly for 10 to 15 minutes or until tender. Drain and rinse in 2 changes of cold water.
• In a large saute pan over medium heat, cook remaining onion with the garlic in the oil until soft, about 5 minutes. Add nopales, tomatoes, and chiles, season with salt, and cook for about 10 minutes. Sprinkle in cilantro and remove from heat. Serve hot or at room temperature.

When they are done, rinse well to remove the sliminess (similar to okra). In a skillet, fry the onions with a little oil until they are transparent. Add the nopales and salt to taste and saute to blend the flavors. While they are sauteeing, put the chile and a little of the soaking water in the blender and puree. Add this puree to the nopales and stir to blend. Stir in cilantro just before serving. Serve on a platter with Tortas de Camaron on top.
