Salsa Verde
The book is available for pre-order and will be out in October!
I made Manolo some 'huevos revueltos con nopales' (scrambled eggs with paddle cactus) which is a very traditional Mexican breakfast.
He ate them with my salsa verde & corn tortillas I warmed up on the griddle.
I made Manolo some 'huevos revueltos con nopales' (scrambled eggs with paddle cactus) which is a very traditional Mexican breakfast.

Roast the tomatillos, serrano chiles and cactus paddles in a hot griddle.
Finelly chop the onion and garlic
and give them a few wacks in the mortar and pestle to let all the juices out.
Once the tomatillos and chiles are cooked puree them using an immersion blender.
Put the tomatillo puree back in the mortar and mix with the onion, garlic and a handfull of fresh finally chopped cilantro.
Season with salt to taste and the salsa verde is ready!
Chop up the roasted nopales and mix them with two beaten eggs.
Season with salt and pepper and pour the mixture
into a pre-heated non stick pan with a little bit of oil.
It's very important not to overcook the eggs.
When the eggs are ready serve them with warm corn tortillas and salsa verde.
If you're not into paddle cactus like me,
you can scramble the eggs with sautéed mushrooms instead.
Hope you guys have a wonderful weekend!

I've looked at the book and I love it. I try to get it in Germany from the 4. Oktober. Wonderful illustrations. And than I try your salsa verde ;-)
It is my dream to create a family cook book like that... I even have the sketchbook and the watercolors and the pens ready... but now that I see it here - I think I will just pre-order the real thing!!!

Geninne, is there nothing you can't do :-)
I need to go make breakfast now...okay, brunch...
Lucky Manolo had an amazing breakfast! Thanks for the shout out to They Draw and Cook Geninne - You really ARE the best!
Yummmmm... that looks delicious. I put the book on my wish list. About how long can the salsa verde be kept in the frig?
Thanks for sharing, Emie
Gennine, I found cactus paddle do you peel it first after roasting. I managed to get pricked while removing thorns, I guess that is expected. I did roast them, getting ready for tomorrow's breakfast. Now onto the salsa!
must try this! we love salsa verde!
No bueno, es que aquí me tienes salivando del antojo...
I love Salsa Verde and I am so proud that my recipe (given by a friend of mine) is the same as yours! My mouth is watering.
WoW! Beautiful and Delicious. I'm missing fresh grown noplaes from our back yard but it was nice to see your beautiful breakfast. Your tortillas are very nice and infladitas, muy bonitas muy bonitas! Blessings to you and your family.

mmmm... with nopal for me, please! Yum.
Is your recipe appearing in the book, too?
More art than breakfast - Man, now I miss mexico even more
Geninne, every time I catch up with your blog I just keep smiling and smiling. Today was particularly special since I've been craving nopalitos con huevo for a while but I'm waiting for my friends the Gs to come for one of our infamous sleepovers (2 days in pijamas, cooking, eating, talking, walking the garden). This post did it. I might not wait. Your recipe for salsa verde looks fabulous and I can't wait to try it. I love your art, I love your perception of things. Can't wait for Alegria. Good luck and thank you for the smiles.
