Home-Cured Holiday Ham will u be doing it …? thank u
A pasta pot makes a great tamali steamer. Keep the great recipes coming. Love this one and all the sausage ones.
The first time I tried making Tamales it was a very tasty nightmare 🙂 While I don't make them regularly or even often enough to say I make them, they are always fun, and always result in a good dinner when I do. However, I think I am going to have to give them ago again because that was one heck of a simple and easy folding you did there that didn't involve cleaning the floor or the ceiling or the cat!!!
Do you have any idea if lamb tallow will whip up?? My mom is allergic to pork so I have been making my tamales using olive oil in the masa…. I know not the same but it does work pretty well
This gringo from Wisconsin has been making them for family for a decade or so, and that spreader blew me away! I gotta have that!
Thanks for sharing my friend😊
Whip it, whip it good
I make boudin tamales they're so good
I had some friends from Mexico stay at my house to make these (In London), getting the husks was challenging (I had to bring them back from California) and we brought the mase in from Mexico. When we were almost done, my friends left for home, and THEN told me that it was bad luck to leave the room when the tamales were cooking (it was a long night).
Chicken and Pork Green Chili and even beef jerky (when we had more dough than ingredients).
Ingredient wise, I agree with you. The Green Chili were knee buckling good as expected, (when I find some people to join me to make this next time, these would be AMAZING with smoked brisket or cheeks) and the Jerky was much better than I guessed.
Thank you for sharing this recipe (I went into this naively blind when we had our Christmas treats), I wish I had your video available back then!!!
When I worked in San Antonio we always celebrated New Year's Day with tamales. My favorites were the barbacoa tamales & the bean tamales. The others were good but these were the best!
I learned to make tamales in Arizona. We use some of the chili gravy in the masa. Adds flavor and a hint of color.
My favorite way to eat is to unwrap the tamal and brown in butter. Serve with an egg over the top.
what is the difference between Mexican Tamales & Filipino Tamales?
Can the extra tamales be frozen? If so before cooking or after?
How do you reheat them?
That looks absolutely delicious. I’ll be making those. Looking forward to the filling recipes.
I am looking forward to trying this myself. Love your videos
Oh my gosh, that looks amazing.
instead of steaming them in water, soak Guajillo and / or Ancho peppers in hot water for a few hours to get the liquid. (the rehydrated pepper flesh is also great in the filling) the pepper broth can be used in the nixtamalina dough too. But take one can of beef broth and 2 cans of the pepper broth and use that to steam the tamales. This maybe is not cooking like a mexeican, but it is very very good.
On Point Eric!! Thank You
I have tried more than 1 recipe for Tamales, and without a doubt, this one explains the real process behind the mystery……….thanks for sharing. = )
I just found out that you need to remove corn husk to eat it. No wonder why i did not like it. Will try again
Man I gotta ask, do you have a catering service or restaurant?
I needed this video literally yesterday. Oh well…..next time
ERIC! YOU'VE AN OPPORTUNITY OF DOING ONE OF THE BEST BRAZILIAN RECEIPTS!
Search for "pamonha".
It's a northern and northeastern thing, but also eaten by whole country in a traditional party all over the country from June to august.
It's almost the same as this receipt, but very easier and I bet even more flavorful!
"Cook like a Brazilian" would be a dope series 😉
Can't wait for the Barbacoa
It looks amazing, I would love to try it, never had tamales before. In Brazil we have a dish that is remniscent of Tamales, it's called pamonha. Instead of using masa harina, it's made with freshly ground sweet corn, stuffed with fresh white cheese and can be done sweet or savory. If you have a chance i would strongly advise you to try it.
Lately I have been using cupcake pans instead of husks to speed things up (I just stack them up in alternating orientation inside my steamer pot). Nobody is seeing nor eating them but me, so I think I can get away with it. 🙂
My mom uses her pressure cooker and cuts the cooking time in half
Oh Heck Yea!! I have to order those spreaders. Great tip Eric. I love using chicken or turkey in mine. I even made some with home made Manchego!
I've never made tamales, but growing up in South Texas, I've eaten more than my fair share. I even had some for dinner last night. They always remind me of Thanksgiving and Christmas time at my grandparents' house with the whole extended family.
These look 100x better then any tamales I find in my area. I might have to just start making my own
OMG, absolute heaven👍❤️
wow, that end result looks fascinating. i'll have to give this a go.
thank you for sharing your work so far. i've had a fermented salami come out a few days ago. everyone were amazed, all thanks to you!
Tasty. I love tamales, but never buy any as they're crazy expensive here in London.
I am going to make these for a party next week. Any recommendations for a veggie filling to offer my non carnivorous guests?
Umm. Tamales! One of my faves!
I miss buying them out of the back of a pickup in TX. Well done!
I find it really interesting that being from south Louisiana Tamales remind me of my child hood. Every weekend in the mid 60s through the mid 80s there was a lady that sold Tamales from her truck near my home and this was was a real treat that I still crave today. This lady passed away in the mid 80s and was missed by hundreds of cajuns that also loved her Tamales. Even today when I can find real Tamales it reminds me of this little old Mexican lady in her truck always smiling and always joking with the children.
imagine being able to buy lard from the grocery store. what a dream.
Great video but one thing, no sweet tamales? You're making that many it's not much more work. Lol
I was out of corn husks so I used parchment paper. It worked fine but, the tamales didn't have the extra flavor that the husks add.
This is awesome. I feel so much more confident in trying it now. Heading out to the carniceria right now! Lol Thank you
I'm 40 years old and never had or even seen a tamale before. Looks interesting
Brb going to see my tamale connection…one of the best parts of Christmas season in California
Best channel. I love the content, keep up the great work!
I love me some pork tamales.
