Nopales Recipe
Here is a recipe I enjoy here in Louisiana. We have a reputation for
good food. If you like okra and tomato, you will love this with Nopales.
Boil Nopales paddles in salted water. Drain.
Boil second time in chicken or beef boullion.
Let cool in boullion water. Drain and slice/dice.
Put one diced large onion, diced bellpepper (large)
diced celery (one cup), one large jalapeno chopped,
and Nopales in large skillet or dutch oven style pot.
Simmer untill all vegtables are tender. Serve over a
bed of long-grain rice.
Meat is optional but does add
flavor.....I like shrimp added at the last moment and
cooked until pink
!!!!!!!!!! Enjoy! Harry Carley
