  1. I had been storing some cans of huitlacoche to try sometime. It's hard to find, so when I found some in a mexican grocery while in FL, I bought all they had! I live in NH, not exactly easiest place to find exotic ethnic ingredients! I plan to stock up on it when I return to visit Calif, my former home. So, today I made homemade mole using cocoa powder, a little tomato sauce, chipotle and regular chili powder, garlic, onion, fresh ground cumin and coriander, cinnamon, almond butter (peanut or cashew would have worked fine), raisins, cayenne, fennel seed, oregano, broth from crockpot chicken - then saw this recipe so took a chance and added just about 1/8 cup of tamarind paste from jar (indian brand) and one small can of the huitlacoche to what I felt was already a delicious dark mole. It turned out fantastic! I shredded the cooked chicken and stirred it into the mole and served it with tortillas. Wow, rich and luxurious taste! The huitlacoche is a black paste and definitely adds a gourmet earthy flavor. Thank you, Mexi-Rosie!

I am a 53 year old Mexican-American elementary school teacher. I enjoy reading biographies, intresting nonfiction, and also love all types of catchy upbeat music. My favorite cookbook is the "Kitchen Fair" trademark cookware recipe book in Spanish. Being bilingual and bicultural, I've come to appreciate the best of both U.S. and Mexican cuisine. I was pleasantly surprised that many, many zaar members include Mexican food as their first favorite food. I'll try to post, as time permits, some Mexican recipes (and also American) that I consider good.
