Tamales
-
I’m going to follow this. I love tamales, and it’s been on my list of things to get down.

I’m trying tamale recipes. Smoked brisket with cheese and salsa filling is great.
Trying to perfect my masa recipe. Anyone have a good recipe they would share?
Chef That is a lot going on in a tamale, I imagine you’d be making them pretty big?

HerbcoFood I like tamales that 3 to 4 make a reasonable meal, especially with rice and beans.
I’ve been making them since I was about 8 years old. Masa is the critical things. Was raised seeing masa being made so many different ways, just looking for a good consistent product.
I know that there are many people that make tamales. Hoping someone will step up and share the masa recipe that will put tamales on the map.

I don’t have my tamale recipe in front of me, but the first time I tried to make them they wouldn’t hold together. I called my mother-in-law, a first generation Mexican-American woman, and her advice to me was “just keep adding more lard. They’ll stay together when you get enough”. Still laugh each time I make them.

sjhark That’s what I was thinking. So simple but yet so wise. Not really staying together is my problem. I have the different stuffings where I like them, but the masa just is never good enough.
if you do have a chance to look at your recipe, I would appreciate any advice.
Thanks

Chef Could it be the brand of lard you are using?

HerbcoFood I’m not sure, I buy Armour brand. Do you know what the differences between brands would be. Any suggestions?

Chef That would be the brand that comes to mind for sure that I’d use. I wonder if atmosphere had anything to do with it. Kind of like the reason the bread made on Nola is like it is because of the humidity. I really don’t know what else until you find you an expert.

Buy a pig and render the lard… I am joking!! I can’t wait for the chef approved recipe
