HOW TO COOK CACTUS LEAVES
RECIPE ONE
Step 1 -Choose a fresh young cactus leaf, about hand-sized and 3/8-inch thick. Remove the spines and nubs with a scrubbing pad. If you don't have a scrubbing pad, you can use a sharp knife.
Step 2 -Slice the cactus like French fries or cut into bite-sized pieces. Place it in a pot and cover it with cold water.
Step 3 -Bring the water to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes.
Step 4 -Add a pinch of baking soda
Step 5 -Scramble eight eggs until soft and firm. Add cactus to the eggs and season with any desired spices. Roll up desired amount in a warm corn or flour tortilla.
RECIPE TWO (my own recipe - pictured)
1 cactus leaf, French fries cut,
2 tablespoons butter,
1 teaspoon minced garlic,
1/2 teaspoon seasonings (Montreal)
DIRECTIONS:
Saute cactus in butter for 4 to 5 minutes; stir in garlic and seasonings and continue saute for 1, 2 minutes. Serve! How does it taste? Yummm ! Lots of vitamins...so eat it up! :))))
