Weird Stuff: Cthulhu Nopales and Eggs

 Cthulhu Nopales and Eggs

Deep in the city of R’lyeh, there is no ingredient more rare and sought after than the desert grown paddles of nopales. So there is no better way to honor the priest of the Old Ones with this dish. Lucky for us nopales can be found ready to use in a jar at your local grocery store. If not available this recipe can easily substitute the napoles with any other green variety of pepper. Bell peppers, sweet peppers, and even jalapeño peppers – for those of you who are more dragon then octopus or human.
