Maranda of Jolts & Jollies was our January 2012 Daring Cooks hostess with the mostess! Maranda challenged us to make traditional Mexican Tamales as our first challenge of the year!
They were really good! I usually don't like tamales (probably just haven't had good ones, I guess) but I liked these.
I served them with extra chili verde sauce and guacamole.
My brother, sister, and puppy helped me fill, and then I steamed them in my bamboo steamer (I got it for Christmas, thanks Jonathan!) I cooked them last night then reheated for dinner tonight.
Love the photo of the pup "supervising" the tamale making. Glad you had some good tamales. I've had some bad ones before so I can see why someone might not like them based on poor quality experience.

ReplyDeleteSuch a cute photo. Your puppy looks so attentive. My granddaughter sous chef helped with mine.
