Let's do the second part of this blog.
I wish you guys are excited as I am because I'm going to share with you guys our fruit taste of the day.
I would like to introduce our amazing and for me weird fruit... Cactus Pear.
Well let's start it, i went today to a fruit market called it "Fresh Fruit" which is close to Pape Station, something like Pape and Danforth, anyways I went there I was looking for the weirdest fruit, that's I hadn't seen before but I didn't find anything. I asked the worker there, what's the weirdest fruit that you have here? And he said, I think it's this one, "The Cactus Pear". I was amazed because it was a cactus but it was pear as well, so asked him if he's tried before and said no. I bought and I went home. I was excited because, it was going to be my first time.
I came in and grap a knife and a boarding table, then I cut it and it was Red inside ( I was in shock, a pear red, that's really weird) so i piled it.
TASTE
I've notice that it was like a pear, and it has a lot of seeds on it. I cut a piece a bit and I tasted and ..... It was ok, it really taste similar as a pear but it felt weird because it has too much seeds.
USEFUL
As a non-comon fruit you can use it in different kind of recipes, but I would use it with chicken, I don't know I can feel like with chicken it will taste awesome.
I would do an "Orange Glazed Chicken with Cactus Pear"
Which wil be Simmer soy sauce, white vinegar, sugar, and ginger until slightly thickened to create an easy sauce for the sautéed chicken and cooked dice of cactus pear.
Hace a great week guys, I hope you enjoy my experiment..
