Salsa Negra, Nopales, and Grilled Pork Tenderloin

I played with some new recipes tonight. I made salsa negra. Easy peasy - just burn everything, lol. I really liked the flavors in this. I highly recommend you try it.
Cook the tomatoes until they blacken. Don’t jack with them - just cook the hades out of them...
Drag some coals out and throw the peppers right in the middle.
It all goes into a blender and the goodness is done.
Nopales are the pads of the prickly pear cactus. I cooked these much the same way I cook okra - and the taste is quite similar. Here is the recipe: https://www.simplyrecipes.com/recipes/nopalitos_with_tomatoes_and_onions/
The protein was a simple grilled pork tenderloin seasoned with S&P, lime juice, chili powder, cumin powder, a bit of soy sauce, brown sugar, and cinamon.
Thanks for looking y’all. Have a great day!

Large BGE & Mini Max for the wok. A few old camp Dutch ovens and a wood fired oven. LSG 24” cabinet offset smoker. There are a few paella pans and a Patagonia cross in the barn. A curing chamber for bacterial transformation of meats...

Thanks y’all for the kind words. The salsa is good stuff. I think it would cook just fine on the egg - just go caveman with everything.Coleman, Texas
