In the ingredients, you included lard. I could not find anywhere in the recipe when to use it.

Hi Mari,
I cooked this last week for my parents. Mum was wary as usual but I must have my Father’s taste for food as we dug in with no hesitation!
I shall be eating Nopales again despite making a right mess when opening the jar. A very slimy sticky substance spilt everywhere but once I’d cleaned it up, rinsed and sliced the Nopales and put them in with the ribs it didn’t matter.
Why has it taken me 50 years to discover them?
Thank you Mari
Paul:-)

In reply to Paul. Hi Paul! I hope you and your dad like the recipe, what can I say? Is one of my favorite foods but I grew up eating this dish. Hey, if you don't like them you can still eat only the stew and remove the nopalitos, just like me and brothers used to do when we were kids haha (we hated nopales, but now we all love them).

Hi Mari,
I have a jar of nopales here at my parents. They are due back here sometime this evening from an holiday in Spain. Neither my Father or I have never tasted Nopales before and I really am torn between this recipe or your verde recipe!
I will let you know either way

Paul:-)

In reply to Cara. Glad you liked it! :) hope you had some tortillas too, they're the perfect accompaniment for this stew.

This is an interesting recipe! And I am already in love with your blog, so many recipes I’ve never heard before, they seems so authentic and despite that, so easy to make. I’m going to make this carne puerco con nopales recipe and let you know :) I already checked up and found the cactus in amazon.
