Techniques
- 5 pads nopales
- 2–3 lb pork rib tips
- 2 tsp garlic salt
- 2 tsp black pepper
- 8–10 whole chiles de arbol
Peel the nopales by pulling the knife back against the thorns on both sides; trim the ends and sides.
- salt
- ½ cup water
- 2 whole bay leaves
In the pan season the ribs with salt, garlic salt and black pepper; add half a cup of water and two bay leaves.
Over medium-high heat, mix, cover and cook about 25 to 30 minutes.
- 2 whole roma tomatoes
- 6 whole tomatillos
- ½ whole onion
Roast the roma tomatoes, tomatillos and half onion until charred all around; transfer to the blender cup.
Turn up the heat and cook the chiles de arbol until fragrant, without burning them or the sauce turns bitter; add to the blender.
- cilantro
- ½ tsp oregano
- 1 tsp salt
Add a very small handful of cilantro, half a teaspoon of oregano and a teaspoon of salt; blend smooth with one and a half cups of water.
- 1½ cup water
When the water has evaporated and the ribs have rendered their fat, fry them 5 to 10 minutes, stirring constantly, until golden.
- onion
- salt
Remove some of the grease; add a little piece of onion and the nopales, season with a little salt, cover and cook five minutes until the nopales change colour.
