Mexican Mole Wax Worm Snacks and Salad Toppers

Leave a reply

Mexican Mole Wax Worms

This is a great technique for crisping up some frozen insects and then adding some zing and either consuming hot from the pan or tossing on top of your favorite salad. I personally love these atop the Black Bean Salad recipe that can also be found on the Next Millennium Farms Culinary section. Are you a fan of Moroccan? Jerk? Any spice will do for the final sauté, it is just a matter of which country you feel like tasting for that particular meal or snack!

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Pre-heat oven to 350 F
  2. Place frozen wax worms on a parchment-lined cookie tray.
  3. Bake for approximately 8-10 minutes until moisture-free and warmed but not completely golden or cooked.
  4. Heat small amount of oil in sauté pan to medium and add wax worms. Dust with spices but not salt. Sauté another few minutes until golden and crispy. Adjust spicing to personal preference.
  5. Remove from heat, add a pinch of sea salt and either devour or place on top of your favorite salad or dish.

This sweet treat will seal the deal for the “ento-cautious”. It takes one bowl for the transition of “thanks but no thanks” to scooping up crunchy sticky crickets with popcorn and asking for MORE please! A super fun party treat that can also be crunched up with dry-roasted mealworms!

Ingredients:

1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup butter
1/4 cup Dulce de Leche caramel (regular caramel works just great too)
6 cups popcorn, already popped
1 cup roasted crickets

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350

Mix crickets with popcorn in a large bowl and set aside.

In a small saucepan melt the butter. Add honey and caramel and continue to cook for 1 minute while continuing to stir. Pour this sweet mixture over the popcorn and crickets and mix well.

Spread mixture out on a parchment covered cookie sheet and bake for 10-15 minutes at 350.

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Break up into smaller pieces so that everybody gets some! Can be served warm or cold, mealworms or no mealworms, the choice is all yours.
