Nopales en Escabeche
Report
This is the familiar pickled vegetables you see at taco stands, only with added nopales. If you follow these directions, they will not be slimy. I rarely can these, as they last a couple months in the fridge, but if you want them shelf stable water-bath can them for 15 minutes per pint.

Ingredients
- 1 pound cleaned nopales, cut into large dice
- salt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 small onion, sliced root to tip
- 2 carrots, peeled and sliced into coins
- 2 to 4 Jalapenos, sliced
- 4 cloves garlic, peeled but whole
- 1 cup water
- 1 teaspoon dried Mexican oregano, or regular oregano
- 2 bay leaves
- 2 cups white or cider vinegar
Instructions
- Toss the diced nopales with about 2 tablespoons of salt and let them drain in a colander in the sink for 20 to 30 minutes, while you chop the other vegetables. When you're done, rinse the nopales quickly under cold water.
- Put the oil in a large pan and get it hot. Add the onion and saute for 2 minutes. Add the carrots, jalapenos, garlic and nopales. Turn the heat to medium-high and stir-fry. You will soon see the slime. Cook vigorously until the slime cooks away, about 10 minutes, stirring often.
- Add the water, oregano, bay leaves and vinegar and stir well. Bring to a boil, then move this into clean Mason jars. Seal and let cool. Store in the fridge or water-bath can them.
Notes
- NOTE: These can be eaten immediately, but are better after sitting in the fridge a week.
