How To Make easy hot tamales
-
1alot of people really don't know how to eat a cooked tamale. You peel away the husk and just eat the corn filling, discarding the husk! First step is to peel the corn and save the husks -
22. Wash corn & husks and cut off corn with a knife
-
3On Stove, boil water, salt, oil. Turn off gas, then add corn meal... chili powder, green chiles, and about a cup of fresh corn. mix well...let cool.
-
44. Place a bit of mixture in two husks. (over-lapping like a X or +.) Fold over four sides and place in steamer open end down.
-
55. Place the steamer over the boiling water and steam the tamales until the contents are hot.
-
6I use homemade tomatillo hot-sauce on top of these tamales---It's really tangy, hot and garlic. Side dishes of roasted squash and Jersey sweet potato fries.....enjoy!
