Guest guest Posted March 22, 2008 Report Share Posted March 22, 2008 They are wonderful without lard. I've been making them for well over 20 yrs go to the Mexican recipe folder and you will see recipes in there.

My local ethnic store was selling " home made tamales " . I placed an order for 3 dozen. I told them they could not be made with lard. They called me the next day and told me that they did not come out and that you have to use lard for them to come out right. They refused to try again. I have been told from several sources that tamales could not be made vegetarian due to the fact that the masa has to be made with lard in order to come out good. could you please share your recipe for the masa? and for the fillings? jeannie Donnalilacflower <thelilacflower@ <thelilacflower%40> > wrote: You can take a hot dry iron skillet and roast the fresh peppers and use them too.

Guest guest Posted March 22, 2008 Report Share Posted March 22, 2008 And I love sweet tamales too. Lots of cinnamon in the masa and a nice cinnamon and raisin filling, I even use dates. Tamales are endless. Donna Sent via BlackBerry from T-Mobile " britton618 " <clbritto Sat, 22 Mar 2008 18:39:53 Re: P/S Amy any tamale cooks out there? Actually, they can be made vegetarian using vegetable shortening instead of lard. I've made them quite a few times and love them. I usually will do one with black beans and one with kidney beans, then jazz them up with different sauces. I love to do a spicy chipolte sauce or a green jalapeno tomatillo sauce. Unfortunately, I don't have the recipes with me at work, but I'll post them for you later. There are also plenty of good recipes online if you just do a search for " vegetarian tamales.

Guest guest Posted March 22, 2008 Report Share Posted March 22, 2008 Get Masa Harina...follow the re cipe on the back...sub vegetable shortening in place of lard....use vegetable broth instead of water...I also add cumin and lime juice to the dough... I frequently make what we New Mexicans call " green corn tamales " ...simply green chili, corn and cheese in the middle... We also make some with red chili sauce vegetarian pinto beans, not refried, and cheese.... stuff, roll and steam for one hour...if you need anything more...let me know...I go in the frozen section and find frozen green chili to use....but depending on your area you may not have that...in which case you would need to roast your own...Don't do the canned stuff if you can avoid it....the flavour will be next to bland...if that.
