Description
Cuitlacoche, or Huitlacoche in Mexico (pronounced whee-tla-KO-cheh) is a soft, delicate fungus that can grow on corn. While many famers see it as a crop ruining disease, it's considered a delicacy by many - tasting of the deep smoky earthiness of mushrooms, yet with the sweet and savoury flavours of corn. Cuitlacoche can be used wherever other fungi would be used - a classic use is in a quesadilla or other tortilla based foods. Why not give this fun-guy a try?
