I think my produce was contaminated with something, because this is the first time I’ve ever had food poisoning and my Pico was obviously uncooked. I also cooked beans with juice from the pico.
Two questions:
-
Am I a dumbass for trying to salvage what I think is contaminated? I don’t wanna waste food and I’m under the impression that cooking it will fix it. My symptoms aren’t life threatening, and I wouldn’t mind confirmation it was the pico.
-
If I can dump the pico into a pot and cook it safely, is there anything special I gotta do? Recipe below so you know what I’m working with.
Pico recipe:
- 8 Roma tomaotes
- cilantro, 1 bunch
- 1 red onion
- 2 jalepenos, roasted
- garlic, minced
- salt, tbs
- 1 lime, juiced
Chop and stir together. Let sit overnight for the flavors to blend properly. Seriously, it doesn’t taste good til the next day.
Unless you know exactly what it’s contaminated with, there’s no safe way to turn it into something edible.
I doubt you’ll want to perform all the lab tests needed to find out if it’s something that can be killed by cooking it.
Yeah I was worried about that
I think if it were bacterial based I could probably cook it to death, but idk if the bacteria release other toxins that cooking doesn’t kill
I’ll see what happens if I just eat my rice and beans. It sucks not knowing what the exact cause is!
Inb4 it’s the rice
