3 Ways to Cook Nopales (Cactus)

[Music] hello welcome to my channel I'm a recipe today I'm going to teach you how to make cactus that way my mom and my grandma taught me French crust - is not polished as you know I grab a Mexican when being food it was no Palace I mean so I have some in my garden so we can then focus on Marie so I'm going to tell you now to three different weights a lot of different ways you can use nail polish so vamos a estar follow me so there we have the nopales guy this is a baby number so that's what we want we don't want this big one as you see I have shoes probably six nopales that one [Music] alright guys so it's pretty from where you can give an apology can get on a time and peel it yourself or so you can get it like that in the stoner which is already squared off you can buy it in the store and it looks like that it's much easy okay guys to peel it captain you show it up to a top to bottom and then after you peel this far you're going to be here and the way is because if the captain's leader cricket this one is really easy because it's Trey's enough problems but when it's a little cricket if you peel a little bit and then you work your way up you cut it the size so when you cut in the size you cut this little part like for example and cut in this fun and because I don't have a thing here I can grab it from here for me not poking my finger and then I just work my way out to cut it all these in the size and just work their way out of it so sometimes they don't more card when they beat a cricket but find a way if you have a chance to peel your new palace but today everything is so you see you can you go to the store and buy already peeled so when I grew up I had to peel my own a Polish so after I already come out of Palace I wonder set up in the reason why I have a you know a little splinter here or something little here and also because I cut it from my backyard so I can take all the third really quick well that way that they've got many tours and it's so nice and clean you see okay guys as you can see this is my palace first and five pillars and this is me the champion because I have been doing this and that was little gross but should be great you didn't get any splinter in her finger okay guys so now after with Ulen equality we had two different ways we can cut it I have to this back in the store you're going to find it cut it like that which is kind of an on my favor also you're going to find it in the store like that but you see this is the difference so this is my French Nepali my favorite way to cut in yes squirt little bit worse so what I do is just do this way then flip in this way cut it like little squares if you want to cut it that way you just do the same thing what all you do is divide different if you want to cut a big so that's how that you will cut it and have a difference different size you see you will need one and a half pounds a nopales oh six cups on the palate for brain onions 1/2 a bunch of cilantro for karlitz a quarter and onions four tablespoons of olive oil or any oil your choice 1 tablespoon of oregano 2 teaspoon or so I took up some water and optional you need for Chile's if you want with a little bit of key I'm gonna cook my nopales for 20 minutes and medium heat up to about onion McCarley not now two cups of water so I just thought two cups of water you can cook it without a water but you have that reason something you're not to stir it too long but I think if you put the water just be fine just cook it for 20 minutes I'm eating here and now we need to add the salt just gonna add half a teaspoon of salt alright guys so I nomination you guys on how to cook no Palace so this is just the first step that you also need it every time you cook nopales this is how you're going to start always add onions and garlic that's just to give it a little bit of kick in themself and add some water and cook it for 20 minutes and then from there we move to the second step so you can make a lot of different recipes but always that's the step you have to do cook the fungus and this is how it looks so for my first recipe in a mine I mean four onions just gonna cut it a small stick this part can I start it and we're gonna use that whole thing so that's my onions so after that I'm going to move on with my cilantro just gonna fold it in half and I'm gonna juice the stem and everything I'm just gonna cut it and remember guys this is actually something that can really add spice if you like spicy use the chilies and if you don't you don't have to you can skip the part but I'm sure I'm gonna use Sarika to keep it a really good flavor and I can tell this shoe is really a spicy cos beans just a little bit of red now I'm gonna come back to Carla's little pieces you can cut it like that but if he's not one of these you can use one of these and just squeeze it and I'm just gonna put it right here so that the only ingredients all right guys I'm gonna check my nopales and this is how it looks you see how they used to be green now they're changing colors so we're just gonna leave it on if you put your timer just cook it for 20 min this sense and a wire just come in the spirit and uh you it should be and here I have everyone's when I quit after this one already changed color this one is almost changing full color then I have this one over here if you kind of have to stare although words make sure the onions and the garlic are down so they all cook perfectly okay guys has been 20 minutes my first brush on the palace is ready so it's right here to this point I'm just gonna turn it up and then I'm going to choose Prince it up as you see it has changed color it's perfect and we're just gonna have to grab it move it or you can let it cook down but I'm not going to drainage remove the onions and I'm going to use fun anymore did you do it just to cook it so I put two Wireless I remove this one this is no longer needed so I'm not going to rinse it I'm just going to drain and that's about it so you always gonna cook to the palace first and we're ready investor so this is the step we're gonna fry them so I'm just gonna put forth tablespoon for you can use less if you want but for a be plenty after I put my oil here I don't even to hear that but I need just gonna add my the palette here and we are going to cook yourself like ten minutes very simple medium heat alright guys to this point I'm just gonna add my garlic right over it ready shop I'm gonna run my onions cilantro chili I'm gonna 1 tablespoon of oregano so I'm just gonna add these break in I'll just

here like that for potatoes like a mess like Tony Hawk up some potatoes I'm just gonna have 2 cups of water basically what we needed s to cover everything that I'm like not like potatoes coming up just cover with water and that'd be plenty 1 teaspoon of salt and then we're just gonna let it cook for 20 minutes we're just gonna cut the onion the same thing green onions other way to the green
