answer:I thought I might be the only person on earth who has not only heard of, but eaten this stuff. One of my friends at work is from Mexico, and we were just discussing the yumminess of this stuff about a month ago. I’ve never used it to cook with, I only ate some at a tapas restaurant. I had heard about it, and thought I would like to try it, despite the fact that it is referred to in English as corn smut. I think you might have the spelling incorrect, though. I’ve always seen it spelled as huitlacoche. I didn’t know it came canned. I think the stuff I had was probably fresh, like mushrooms, but I’m not positive. The tapas thing I had was kind of like a chile relleno. It was wonderful. I’m thinking that it would taste great with your favorite fried cheese (which I can’t recall the name of right now). I would think it would be good in cheese enchiladas too. The other thought I had was that it would probably taste good in an omelette or with huevos rancheros. It basically tastes like really good, earthy mushrooms. This Huitlacoche Tart looks pretty tasty. So do these Huitlacoche Enchiladas Verdes This recipe is right up your alley. Huitlacoche and Potato Soup with Oaxaca Cheese Croutons I’ve had many yummy vegetarian empanadas before, but this one has Huitlacoche and Black Beans. Delicous! Hope something here sounds good. Let me know how you like it.
