Escamoles are a traditional Mexican delicacy made from the edible larvae of ants. Here's a recipe for making Escamoles:

Ingredients:
- 1/2 pound Escamoles (ant larvae)
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup finely chopped white onion
- 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions:
1. Begin by cleaning the Escamoles. Rinse them in cold water and remove any debris or foreign matter.
2. Bring a pot of water to boil and add a pinch of salt. Blanch the Escamoles for 1 minute.
3. Drain the Escamoles and set aside.
4. In a pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until it becomes transparent.
5. Add the Escamoles to the pan and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
6. Sprinkle salt over the Escamoles and mix well.
7. Serve Escamoles hot, as a side dish or as a filling for tacos or tortillas.

Note: Escamoles have a unique texture and flavor, and may not be to everyone's taste. If you are new to Escamoles, it is recommended to start with a small serving and adjust the recipe to your liking.<|im_end|>

How can you tell if the onion is "translucent"?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
"Translucent" refers to the stage when the onion has softened and become slightly see-through, but it hasn't turned brown or caramelized yet. You can tell that the onion is translucent when it has lost its raw, opaque look, and you can see a bit of light shining through it. It usually takes about 5-7 minutes of cooking over medium heat for the onions to reach this stage. It's essential to stir them occasionally to ensure they cook evenly and don't burn.<|im_end|>
