Avimex Huitlacoche corn truffle 212gm

Cuitlacoche or huitlacoche tastes like a cross between corn and mushrooms.  Uniquely Mexican, cuitlacoche is the result of corn which has been inoculated with funghi. It changes corn kernel, turning it a black-purple colour and enlarging and softening it.  It's kinda ugly but incredibly delicious.

Try it in a corn & zucchini omelet, Tacos, Chicken Breast stuffed with huitlacoche, pasta with a huitlacoche sauce, Crepes with huitlacoche stuffing and white sauce.

For an easy taco filling, saute with sliced zucchini, small diced onion and a sprinkle of epasote.  So Mexican, so vegan, so yummy.

Huitlacoche is also called Mexican truffles.

Ingredients: cuitlacoche, onion, vegetable oil, iodized salt.
