The program was broadcast on SVT in May 2019 and Jonas Sundström describes the dish as a good substitute for minced meat or broiler in the usual tacos or tortillas.

- The insects are crispy and also have their own taste, he says.

What you need:

  • 50 g house crickets

  • 2 tablespoons flour beetle larvae (flour mask)

  • oil

  • salt and black pepper

  • common taco accessories: corn tortillas, salad, cucumber, cheese, sour cream, taco sauce etc.

How to cook:

  • Let frozen grasshoppers and mealworm larvae thaw for a quarter of an hour.

  • Fry in oil, first on high heat, then on medium temperature for five minutes.

  • Salt and pepper the grasshoppers.

  • Lower the temperature of the frying pan and fry the larvae golden brown and crispy in oil at medium temperature.

  • Do you need a spice salt with chili and larvae for your tacos?
