I'm a truck driver, with my husband.As we travel this beautiful country we have wonderful opportunity to try any kind of food possible and we learn much from talking to people. Napol, prickly pear cactus, is rumoured to lower colesterol. I found, at wal-mart as well as many other places,a pickeld, ina glass jar, version of Napoli. It makes the most wonderful dishes. I can cook it on the truck. This is versatile recipe. I love recipes I can play with. The one I'm sharing is my favorite version so far. Mix in love no matter what your version. Chow Mae (Shelby)

    Brown rice I always give just a tad more water. In this case half a cup of brown rice 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons of water to cook it. Sometimes you can cook rice in a soup broth too. Yum
