John's Cactus Salsa Recipe
Ingredients:
two pounds of cactus prepared and diced
a couple cans of diced tomatoes
three or four pickled jalapeno peppers (or to taste)
three cloves or more (to taste) of garlic
one-half medium onion
a can each of red kidney, black bean, and pinto beans
a can of sweet corn
pinch of basil
a bunch of cilantro
quarter cup of olive oil
couple dashes of salt and some ground black pepper will add flavor
a handful of shelled sunflower seeds, shelled pumpkin seeds, or pine nuts, or any mix of
them
For a real crowd pleaser at a picnic or
party make this cactus salsa ahead of time and allow it to blend its flavors in the
refrigerator for a few hours or more.
Just mix all the ingredients above that you can obtain.
Some hot peppers are always in favor here in the SouthWest,
but other folks may need it tamed down on the hot peppers some.
One can use this as a dip for tortilla chips, or a relish and garnish on burritos, meat
dishes or a general spicy condiment.
