Nopal link

[Guest guest]

Back then, another member - Cathrine Q - kindly posted this link re cooking with

nopal -

it has cooking instructions for this cactus, plus a nopal salad, in the last two

paragraphs.

And I have found recipes by googling - such as the one on the food network for

Nopal

Cactus with Prickly Pear Vinaigrette and Toasted Pumpkin Seeds:

AND three Mexican recipes here:

RecipeZaar has more (32), but - warning - not all are vegetarian.

(You'll probably have to cut and paste that one into your browser.)

 

OK, has anyone ever made anything using nopal? It looks really interesting - and

with

health benefits as well, it would seem like something we should all know about!
