In fact, the US Dept of Agriculture has active programs for exterminating the corn smut fungus. The canned stuff should last indefinitely, though, so long as it remains unopened. That said, I find that huilacoche works well with creamy preparations - I made a savory cheesecake with the stuff which was well received. You can also do a creamy soup with it, or stuff it into crepes as an snazzier version of the enchilada. I imagine that a huilacoche lasagna is possible, or ravioli.Dr. Rickyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14402750016330919877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19953700.post-20129088670046031282009-03-09T11:36:00.000-05:002009-03-09T11:36:00.000-05:00While in Mexico I ate huitlacoche a few times (mos...While in Mexico I ate huitlacoche a few times (mostly in the south, Chiapas and Oaxaca) and recently, one of my traveling companions went back without me and brought back a can of it as a gift. I have no real idea of what to do with it, whether it is a good or bad huitlacoche, or how long it lasts. Dr Ricky, preparations?<BR/><BR/>My favorite part of eating it in Mexico was seeing how it was translated. Corn fungus, corn truffles, corn smut...<BR/><BR/>Also, I think bringing fresh (?) huitlacoche into the states would be akin to bringing in a vial of cholera, and that is why you don't see it here much.Rubiaohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10094661174218777843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19953700.post-47817934770980337402009-03-07T18:20:00.000-06:002009-03-07T18:20:00.000-06:00wow, Iam not sure to think of this one.

Then again, even in Mexico, huilacoche is a delicacy. Hugo's serves a huilacoche enchilada, I believe. Other than that, since I can find the canned stuff, I cook it myself.Dr. Rickyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14402750016330919877noreply@blogger.com
