Ingredients

10 each tomatillos
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 large onion finely chopped
2 cloves garlic chopped
4 each serrano pepper seeded, chopped
1 x salt to taste
1 x black pepper to taste
1 bunch cilantro stemmed, chopped, reserve some sprigs for garnish
14 ounces nopalito drained, rinsed well, julienned or diced
1 1/2 pounds pork loin boneless, cut into 2 inch cubes
1 x hot chili peppers fresh, for garnish

Directions

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 sauté 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.

Mochiko Chicken

Very Very tasty chicken. Just like the one I had when I was in Japan. I used only one egg and added some sesame oil instead. I also added some chopped ginger. For chicken, I used boness skinless thighs. Thank you for this recipe!
