Cactus Marmalade

A delightful combination of the bright magenta-colored and delicately sweet juice of the prickly pear cactus fruit and the tart flavor of lemons creates a sweet marmalade with a tangy kick.

Recipe

  • 10 Mini slider buns, split
  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 1 clove garlic, crushed
  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh sage
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped red pepper
  • 1/4 cup grated sweet onion
  • 1/4 cup grated manchengo cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

Mix together well, the turkey and remaining ingredients. Form into 10 mini slider patties. Cook the patties on a hot grill or grill-pan for 3 minutes on each side. Serve topped with cactus-onion marmalade and baby spinach or arugula.

Cactus-Onion Marmalade

In a frying pan, cook the onion in the oil until wilted and beginning to lightly brown. Stir in the Cactus Marmalade.
