Instructions:

Prickly Pear Eggs

1 or 2 fresh nopales
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
4 tablespoons butter or vegetable oil
1/2 cup red chile sauce
8 eggs
Salt and pepper

Trim and clean the cactus pads. Dice each pad, then cover with salted water in a saucepan, and simmer gently until tender, 5 to 10 minutes. Drain in a sieve and rinse under cold water to rid pads of their sticky, okra-like juice.
