How about some corn smut with your coffee on this fine Monday morning?

we got some from Ian at FWF and cooked it up this weekend! :) tasty! http://www.flickr.com/photos/bonequinha_sf/tags/huitlacoche/

ha, funny. how’d it taste?

looks terrible ;-)

It imparted earthy, smokey notes. Doesn’t have much of a taste on its own. Danny first sauteed it with some chiles, onion and peppers. The next day we made a risotto. Both tasty.
