HUITLACOCHE RECIPE RECIPES

Steps:

• Preparing the Filling
• Assembling the Quesadillas
• Serving

Steps:

• "Heat the oil or lard in a large skillet over medium-high heat until very hot but not quite smoking. Add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is golden and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the chiles and cook for another 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the Huitlacoche and epazote, reduce the heat to medium, and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes. Let cool slightly. In two or more batches, process the mixture to a smooth puree in a blender or food processor fitted with the steel blade, adding enough chicken stock to facilitate blending. Pour the puree into a large, heavy saucepan and bring to a boil, stirring. Add the remaining chicken stock a cup or two at a time until the mixture is the consistency of a thin cream soup. Stir in the cream, bring to a boil, reduce the heat to medium, and simmer another 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Ladle into bowls and serve hot.
