Corn, chili peppers and garlic are must-have ingredients for authentic Mexican meals, and if you don't want to be hung out to dry without them, consider creating a unique South-of-the-Border floral food wreath.
Ingredients:
Basic wreath shell
Corn husks
Garlic
Chili peppers
Herbs or grass or any foliage of your choice
Steps: - The top of the piece is the focal point, so shuck some corn and use the husks and intertwine them into the top of the wreath.
- Integrate some chili peppers throughout the wreath.
- One of the nice things to do with a floral food wreath is to have something draping down the center. For example, tie together some corn, garlic heads and stalks and a colorful floral choice.
- A great way to spice up the wreath is to add herbs, such as rosemary or whatever you desire. Just tuck the herbs in between the twigs of the wreath base.
- Add eucalyptus to the wreath to keep moths and pests away from the fresh food items.
Notes: - If you are wondering how to keep your peppers perky and garlic glowing, try a blow-dryer, which works great for getting rid of accumulated dust and dirt.
- Soak dried peppers in water to plump them up. Almost anything can be used in the food wreath. Be creative and have fun!
