“Queso de Tuna” (prickly pears desert) Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 kg of tuna cardona, (with this amount you will get 250 to 300 grams of prickly pear cactus)
- vegetable oil
Directions:
Remove the shell from all the tunas.
Once peeled they must be crushed and strained to separate the juice or pulp from the seeds.
The pulp is boiled in a saucepan, preferably copper, since these cases cause the temperature to be distributed evenly.
While the pulp is boiling, moved until it thickens. Keep on moving because it is very easy to burn.
When the desired consistency is achieved, it is poured into an aluminum container greased with vegetable oil and allowed to cool.
Subsequently, the mixture must be kneaded on a flat surface.
Allowed to cool and the mixture acquires the consistency of a jelly. It can be filled with walnuts, pine nuts, peanuts or almonds.
