This looks sooooo good. I'm very very fond of black beans - to me they're the

most flavourful - and of course I adore anything with olives ;=) Regular

tortillas

with that?

 

Best, Pat ;=)

this was a recipe for tamale filling. a member stated

that he was planning on making veggie tamales. i

guess i assumed he knew how to make tamales and just

needed some ideas for fillings and didn't post

instructions on making the actual tamales. sorry.

 

i'll see if i can find some info on making tamales if

anyone is interested.

Hi Susie!

 

Understood ;=) No need to apologize - not at all! Some members might not

know what tamales are, of course - so a recipe might not be needed but a bit

of a clue as to what this mixture is actually for might be a bit useful.

 

I understand that it is difficult, on a list as wide-ranging as this one, to

remember that some dishes that might be very familiar to one person or a

whole group of people might be unknown or at least relatively unfamiliar to

others. It depends on which part of the world you have grown up in or are

living in now.

 

And all recipes posted to the list reach all members - which is a *good* thing,

eh? LOL

 

Soooo, to put it another way, what if we can't get cornhusks at our local market

- then what would you suggest? Abandon hope? Maybe. Seems a shame,

though.

 

Best,

Pat ;=)

 

Thanks so much.

banana leaves to wrap tamales are traditional in some

parts of mexico. i've also seen tamales wrapped in

collard greens. i would venture to say that fresh

corn husks would work too.

 

i hesitate to post a recipe because i don't have one

(aside from fillings)...i use the masa recipe on the

package of masa harina. there are tons of tamale

instructions and recipes online. again, i hesitate to

post, because i haven't personally tried them, and

most mention meat and meat ingredients.

Oh I wouldn't worry - the info posted on making tamales more than covers it

for those unfamiliar with them ;=) And if mixes are available - hey - I didn't

know mixes were available. (Why not? I wonder!) I've never seen them. But of

course I might not LOL I think everyone has a pretty good idea now - myself

included - and there should be no prob at all. I'll just put a note on the

recipe

(when I put it in the Files) that there's info about making tamales in xxxxxx

file,

okay?

 

Best, Pat ;=)
