Pickled Baby Corn
subtle


The pickle is a way of preparing certain foods in vinegar. With the vinegar’s addition the foods preserve for a longer time and they acquire a very different seasoning. The Mexican cuisine adopted this technique from the Spaniards and has expanded it along many ingredients but in this occasion we are going to focus in the baby corns .

In this recipe the Mexican cuisine has been very cautious of not losing the baby corns’ soft flavor, when they are mixed with other ingredients. For this reason the baby corns are combined with ingredients that have soft flavors and as typical pickle is condimented with spices to obtain a very special flavor.



The final result is a delicious accompaniment that can be used in almost any dish that has beef like an arrachera , a steak with onions or a cecina. Although they can also be used as snack and even as appetizer.
