Categories     side-dish

Time 3h10m

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 1/2 pounds fresh or prepared cactus paddles or nopales, needles removed
3/4 cup olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
4 Italian Roma tomatoes, cored, seeded and cut into 1/4-inch dice
1/2 small red onion, cut into 1/4-inch dice
1 to 2 medium serrano chiles, stemmed, seeded and finely diced
2 bunches cilantro, leaves only, chopped
1/2 cup finely grated Cotija or Anejo cheese
1/2 cup red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
4 to 6 lettuce leaves
1 avocado, peeled, seeded and sliced for garnish
1/4 cup cracked black pepper garnish, recipe follows
2 tablespoons cracked black pepper
1/2 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Preheat grill or broiler. Place cactus paddles in a bowl and toss with 1/4 cup of the olive oil and 1/2 teaspoon of the salt. Grill or broil the paddles until grill marks appear on each side, or they turn dark green with black patches, about 3 to 5 minutes. Set aside to cool to room temperature. Cover and chill 2 to 4 hours or overnight. Cut cactus into 1/2-inch pieces. In a large bowl, combine the cactus, tomatoes, onions, chiles, cilantro and cheese with the remaining 1/2 cup oil, the vinegar, the remaining 1 teaspoon salt and pepper. Toss well. Serve on plates lined with lettuce leaves, and garnish with avocado slices sprinkled with cracked pepper garnish.
  • In a small bowl, stir all the ingredients together. Spoon over vegetables or drizzle lightly over dressed salads as a garnish.

Carnitas with Spicy Pickled Vegetables and Cactus Salad image

Provided by Susie Jimenez

Time 4h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 29

6 pounds lard
2 lemons, halved
2 limes, halved
2 oranges, halved
3 pounds pork shoulder, cut into 2-inch chunks
1 bay leaf
1 yellow onion, quartered
1 tablespoon salt
1 bottle Mexican cola
1 quart white vinegar
2 chiles de arbol
3 tablespoons salt
1 tablespoon mixed color whole peppercorns
6 green beans, trimmed
6 yellow wax beans, trimmed
6 baby carrots, peeled
6 baby ears of corn
6 cloves garlic
6 jalapenos
4 tablespoon olive oil, divided
2 cactus paddles, trimmed
3 scallions
2 Roma tomatoes, diced
1 serrano chile, minced
2 limes, juiced
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Corn tortillas
Limes, cut into wedges

Steps:

  • For the pork: Melt the lard in a large pot over medium heat. Squeeze the juice from the citrus fruits into the lard along with the skins. Add the pork shoulder, bay leaf, onions and salt. Turn the heat down to medium-low, cover the pot and cook the pork, about 1 hour and 45 minutes.
  • In the meantime, for the pickled vegetables: In a non-reactive pot, bring the vinegar, chiles de arbol, salt and peppercorns to a boil. Take off the heat and add the green beans, wax beans, carrots, corn, garlic and jalapenos. Chill in the refrigerator to cool down, at least 1 hour. Will hold in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
  • For the cactus salad: Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat, add 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and grill the cactus paddles until soft and charred, about 10 minutes. Remove the paddles and set aside. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and grill the scallions until just cooked, about 3 minutes. After the cactus and scallions have cooled, dice them up and mix with the tomatoes, chile and lime juice. Season with salt and pepper and reserve.
  • After the pork has been cooking and is soft, turn the heat up to medium-high and add the cola. Cook until the pork caramelizes, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • To assemble the carnitas, strain a spoonful of the pork from the fat and serve on a warm corn tortilla. Garnish with the pickled vegetables, the cactus salad and lime wedges.

CACTUS PADDLE SALAD (NOPALES SALAD)



Cactus Paddle Salad (Nopales Salad) image

If you can't get fresh nopales, you can substitute a 12 - 15 ounce jar of the cactus pieces, drained. If you can't find Mexican queso fresco, you can substitue feta cheese--but the feta may be saltier than the queso so adjust your seasoning.

ウェブ 2021年4月30日 A good substitute is marjoram. Cumin – Traditional cumin pairs with the Mexican oregano to give this dish an authentic flavor.
