How about pork fatback? In place of, or in conjunction with the lard?

Never tried it. If you can get the fat (after it's rendered) to mix with the masa for a nice even texture it might work. Lard is pork fat just cleaned and processed so it doesn't go rancid. Give it shot and let us know if it works.

Bob, good work!

Bob, good work!

Thinking that I might partially freeze it, then either grind it (not likely) or run it through a grater... Possibly this weekend... but with the holidays, who knows...

Awesome! Mine turned out really nice. Need to upload some photos later though they look nothing like Bob's! What's the sauce/liquid?

BobBrisket · 12-24-2009, 12:36 PM

The green sauce is a store bought one. It's has no heat, but very much on the vinegary side. Mostly made from tomatillos. My wife is going to use it in her Chile con Queso. Adds for some nice ZING.

Here's breakfast. Like I said, heating them up in butter till the outside gets brown and crispy is the Cat's Arse!! Couple eggs, and some red and green sauce. The red sauce is from one of my wife's co-workers. Medium heat but has a strong oregano profile. Goes great with tamales. I was going for Christmasy Colors!

Merry Christmas!

I've had all the calories I'll need for the WHOLE day! This the best breakfast for New Year's Day after a long night of celebrating! It will cure what ails you!

Big V · 12-25-2009, 05:50 AM

OK, now I'm hungry for tamales for my Christmas breakfast!

sbramm · 12-25-2009, 06:23 AM

Yakfishingfool · 12-25-2009, 07:48 AM

canned chili,adobo,mole or picante if you're in a real pinch.

BobBrisket · 12-25-2009, 10:45 AM

Canned sauces will work just fine. You can always doctor em up for more heat, flavor, etc.

Tamales can be filled with anything....bbq sauced meat, green chile strips and cheese, even a simple picadillo(ground meat with garlic, onions, cilantron, tomato and jalapenos.)

Can't wait to see the Tamale Pron!

BobBrisket · 12-16-2011, 12:04 PM

It's that time again!!! I should be getting some going in the next week or so! This year I bought an extra 40 lbs of Hatch chile for the tamales and the fresh sausage I'll be making!

I guess I'm going back to Target for a new tamale pot since the last one was used for a smokin joe mini smoker. All Those tamale's look great!!!!

JiveTurkey · 12-20-2011, 03:53 PM

Hey Bob! Tis the season... for TAMALES! We're getting things ready over here once again. I will post some pics if I get a chance to take any. Good to see this thread brought back to life.
