Instructions
First, sear your pork ribs in a skillet until golden brown. Season the seared ribs generously with your favorite pork rub, such as a classic SPG blend. For the spicy green sauce, boil 7 tomatillos and 7 jalapeños in water until they change color and soften. Carefully transfer the boiled tomatillos and jalapeños to a blender. Add 1/4 of an onion, a handful of fresh cilantro, 2 cups of water, and 1 tablespoon of chicken bouillon to the blender. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and spicy. For the cactus, cut the nopales into bite-sized pieces and boil them in water with a piece of onion and a pinch of salt until they become tender and their color changes. To bring the dish together, add the seasoned pork ribs and the prepared green sauce to a skillet. Bring to a simmer and cook for approximately 30 minutes, or until the ribs are tender. Finally, stir in the cooked nopales (cactus) and continue to cook for an additional 5 minutes. Serve these spicy pork ribs with your favorite side dishes and enjoy the kick!View original recipe
