View Full Version : First attempt at Tamales
My wife and I made tamales last night for the first time and thought I would share with everyone.  At least the pics anyway.

lol.. damn I am hungry now.
you should bring one down to brighton in the next hour.  I know I would eat em!
They are tasty.  I ate four or so last night and I am already at three for today.  I was hoping to take them to elk camp next week but I am not sure if they will last that long.  The wife should be freezing them today while I am at work.  
 
Im just not sure I can trust her alone with them.

You left them unsecured???
We make them around Christmas time. We put either a green or black olive in most. LOVE 'em!

Hey I am local and I am the official Tamale tester. I'll let you know how they are! They look good! Any spicy ones in that batch?

Sorry I have a few taste testers in line already.  I did not make any actual spicy ones but I did put some pepper Jack cheese with the pork in a few and a few with green chillies in them.

I'm local and did not see any invite  -1 in feedback, sorry dude.
Once we get official word from the taste testers I would like to know if this is this a secret family recipe or are you able to share?[Coffee]
haha. Dude you're the "village idiot". 
I've been that for a while now.  I was simply stating that no one was going to like him after he refused to share.. call me 'psychic'.
I see people liking him if he shared, but the future on that is hazy.  Magic 8 ball says he will not share.
Cool! We gonna have a tamale peddler on the board now as well as a bacon maker? I'm in!

I've been addicted to both at one time or another.  Now I'm only on the bacon.  [Tooth]

No secret family recipe here.  I just made a pork shoulder in the crockpot Like I would for pulled pork Sandwiches, them I googled "tamale recipe" for the masa and picked the one that sounded good.
 
I think they are pretty good for the first go around.  The masa was a wee bit thick on the first few I made but once I got a handle on it it was easy.  I like the cheese ones, too.
 
My wife found a recipe for chocolate tamales tonight.  I will report how that comes out. [Tooth]

You are right.  No sharing on this go.  HATE ME IF YOU MUST but I still have the tamales.  One day I will get crazy and make 20-30 dozen, I only got about 6 dozen out this time,  and I may share.  It is dependent on the freezer room available.

You're in luck I have a freezer, you deliver?
They look absolutely terrible, I'm afraid I will have to sample them in order to change my opinion,,, [Beer]

I have several bushels of hatch roasted green chili's just waiting for such an event....[Coffee]
I LOVE a good Tamale. This thread is making me Jones for one now.
However, I've never seen one that wasn't closed on both ends, as in all sealed up. ???

I just need some of these to wrap in bacon and I'll be all set!
Mmmmm bacon.......[Dinner]
