* Exported from MasterCook * Tamales Recipe By : Iris Dunaway Serving Size : 1 Preparation Time :0:00 Categories : Ethnic Mexican Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method -------- ------------ -------------------------------- Pork, Ham, Chicken, Beef, or Turkey -- shredded onion -- chopped garlic -- minced anaheim chili pepper -- chopped jalapeno chile pepper -- chopped chili powder ground cumin salt tomato sauce, to moisten recipe for corn tortillas corn husks recipe for green chili Cook meat; cool; and shred. Season meat with salt, garlic, onion, peppers, and spices. Add tomato sauce to make the mixture moist. Make the corn tortillas using a tortilla press, but do not cook tortillas. (if a tortilla press is not used, add more liquid so that dough can be spread onto the corn husks with back of a spoon) Put corn husks in water and simmer on stove until husks are soft. Remove and drain. Spread out the corn husks large enough to place a corn tortilla on. Sometimes it is necessary to 'piece' a number of corn husks together. Place meat mixture on tortilla and roll up making sure the tortilla is totally closed, and corn husk is securely in place (I fold like a burrito). Place in a steamer (so water is not touching the tamales) and steam for 2 to 4 hours, adding water as needed. I usually pressure the tamales instead of steaming them. I place the platform insert into the pressure pot, then I place a expandable vegetable steamer on top of the platform insert. Put water in pressure pot just to the bottom of the tamales. When 10 pounds pressure is reached, pressure for 20 minutes. Reduce pressure immediately and remove tamales. Let set 5 minutes before serving. When serving, remove corn husks and pour green chili on top. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Plain Text Version of This Recipe for Printing or Saving | |
