Hot Tamales
Seriously, I made hot tamales and they were AWESOME!!! I love, love, love, New Mexican food….what is the difference between Mexican and New Mexican food, you ask. Green Chili!!!!
So, we were hosting a good 20+ people at the cabin over Memorial Weekend. I decided we would do an authentic meal to put us all in the mood so I made, Pasole, three types of enchiladas, tamales, tomatillo salsa, and on and on. I was familiar with most of these recipes….all except the tamales. I really had no idea how they were made. I just like to eat them. Well, let me tell you, it was a process. But, I loved every minute of it.
First, you soak the corn husks in boiling water.
Then there are a lot of preparations to have the inside delicious!!!
All mixed into a yummy sauce!
They are stuffed, wrapped, tied……and steamed, and steamed, and steamed….in whatever you have!
Finally, you get to eat them if you can get over how pretty they are!!!
I am not exagerating when I say they were the most delicious things I have ever made. They did take a lot of time, but it was so worth it. I am always looking for something that takes me all day to make since I don’t bake. Now I have something to make on those rainy weekends.
You want to try it? Well, here is the deal, I will post the recipe I used as soon as I get a dozen comments. So, if you like these, comment and pass it on.
Here are some pictures of the rest of the spread…..
