This recipe takes only the simplest tools to prepare and is quick and easy to do.

Cactus: years and years of evolution, and finally I've got the spikes. No one's gonna eat me anymore.
This guy: mmm, cactus!

As awesome as Prickly Pears are, the Australian government considers them an invasive species. You cannot legally grow them because they do a bit too well here. I used to see a lot of them growing up and have had the pleasure of eating the fruit after negotiating the thorns. Very sweet and used in a folk remedy for Hooping Cough.
