Foraging

The vegetation here at the beach is wild and scrubby. Live oak and laurel cling to sandy hills; browning sea grass and burrs blanket the dunes. Prickly Pears are also abundant, most with plump purple pears on top.

Which brings me to our project for today: prickly pear lemon squares. The pear juice offers a refreshing melony cucumber-like note and a lovely a magenta color. The dish is a success! Now the grilled nopales, or cactus leaf? That’s a different story.
