Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
10 Tomatillos
2 tb Vegetable oil
1/2 lg Onion, finely chopped
2 cl Garlic, chopped
4 Serrano peppers, seeded and
Chopped
Salt to taste
Pepper to taste
1 bn Cilantro, stemmed and
Chopped (reserve some sprigs
For garnish
1 (14-oz) jar nopalito (cactus
Pad strips), drained, rinsed
Well and julienned or diced
1 1/2 lb Boneless pork loin, cut into
2-inch cubes
Fresh chilis for garnish

Cut an X on the bottom of each tomatillo and remove
core. Drop into boiling water briefly, 15 to 20
seconds; drain and peel off husks. (If husks are hard
to remove, drop tomatillos again into boiling water to
cover, boiling about 1 minute, or until husks soften).
Quarter tomatillos and place in a blender.
Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion and
garlic and saute until limp. Add to blender, along
with serranos, salt, pepper, chopped cilantro and
nopalitos. Process until mixture is coarsely ground.
Place pork in heavy pan or Dutch oven; add tomatillo
mixture. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover pan and
simmer slowly until pork cuts easily with a fork,
about 1 to 1-1/2 hours. Serve garnished with cilantro
sprigs and whole chilis.
