Bored with Butties phase 16

To try to pick up the Dr Who theme again after last week’s rather excellent barbie, I have to confess to not being a fan, I was always traumatised by the daleks and would hide behind the settee when the inevitable “Exterminate!!.........exterminate!!” command would ring out just before the end of an episode. That was in the good old John Pertwee days, as a kid I never did predict that he would always make some kind of miraculous James Bond-like escape in readiness for the next instalment 
Daleks and sea-devils were about all I remember, so whether the current crop of cybermen are like martians, with green blood and drinking Nitromors for breakfast I’m not sure. But this is what I imagine pork with minced cybermen would look like
This is a good one to scare the in-laws away, always a good idea to have a few of this type of recipe up your sleeve and the necessary ingredients lurking in your cupboards. – Ok, you’re not going to get tomatillos or prickly-pear cactus pieces from Tesco but you could go to your local garden centre for the cactus and, erm, accidentally knock some of the leaves off a suitable plant. Or go to somewhere like the RHS place at Wisley, and casually hack some prize exhibit with a machete
Don’t eat the pricks For convenience, you can get jars or bottles of suitable nopalitos 
but not from Asda 
Pork, onion, garlic, oregano, chillies, tomatillos and cactus pieces
Drain the tomatillos & cactus....
....and chop them together
Zap the pork until browned....
....add the onion & garlic then stir in the oregano & chillies....
Add the tomatillos & cactus to the pork with a little stock....
....simmer for 15-20 minutes or until your gas runs out....
....Season with salt and plenty of ground black pepper and serve with corn tortillas.
