tamales and stir fries

[Guest guest]

Dear Vida,

 

Thanks for the replies. What is Red Palm Oil and where do you get it? I like

your suggestion of using spices in Masa Harina. Before I got your reply I did

some checking on the net and found this which looks very good.

http://www.recipelink.com/gm/6/1573 The recipe I made up has olives frozen corn

and green salsa and other stuff in the filling. I'll try your recipe.

 

i especially liked the " Other " section of the forum files. It has some good

cheese and other substitutes.

 

FYI. I just found this shop through an article I read on woks. I am not

affiliated with them. However, they have excellent woks, excellent service and

very reasonable prices. I got a large flat bottomed wok, a microplane zester,

which puts other zesters to shame and a wok cover handle and they threw some

goodies like a cookbook, , 2 wooden spoons and a backscratcher for under $50

including shipping from San Fran. to Alaska.

Re: veggie tamales and stir fries

 

Use Yves Good Ground (fine texture)and follow the recipe here

Just use an oil like Red Palm Oil in the filling and in the masa mix

to get the saturated fat effect, which is perhaps not bad for

vegetarians anyway and comes from a vegetable source. Spice up the

dry Masa Harina with a lot of pepper red/black/chile/cayenne/paprika

and stuff like pumpkin pie spice, then use tomato juice to make the

tamale spread have taste and color. Taste it dry to check the flavor

and adjust it up or down before the liquid is added.

 

I just made some Thursday 23, Feb, and they came out just like the

unhealthy ones at a tamale stand. I'm sure I could sell them from a

wagon or stand and nobody would ever suspect they were vegan.

Diabolical huh?
