   10                    Tomatillos
    2       tb           Vegetable oil
      1/2   lg           Onion, finely chopped
    2       cl           Garlic, chopped
    4                    Serrano peppers, seeded and
                         Chopped
                         Salt to taste
                         Pepper to taste
    1       bn           Cilantro, stemmed and
                         Chopped (reserve some sprigs
                         For garnish
    1                    (14-oz) jar nopalito (cactus
                         Pad strips), drained, rinsed
                         Well and julienned or diced
    1 1/2   lb           Boneless pork loin, cut into
                         2-inch cubes
                         Fresh chilis for garnish
 
   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 saute 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.
