I miss my Tai's tamlaes, those are gonna be good, Where did you get that Steamer pot I want one?

I found this at a local Mexican store a few towns over. I like it better than the aluminum ones that you can get. It was still cheap too, I think I paid 20 bucks for it. :thumb:

Definitely on my list of things to do soon. If only I hadn't cut a hole in the bottom of my tamale pot to make a mini WSM :tsk:

I'm also making up some beans for the side. I bought some pork neck bones....

They went on the smoker when I cooked the chuckies, and looked like this...

Here are the beans....overnight soak, then simmer today with a few hatch peppers, salt, the neck bones and garlic.

I love tamales, i have the pleasure of working with a load of mexican women, and get them nearly on a weekly basis. Fresh and hand made!

 

[chicagokp]

Needs a little bit more time, but they are close....

Make them! They are labor intensive, but they are delicious and freeze well. Just wait till everything is plated up!

[chicagokp]

[buccaneer]

I deeply regret not trying tamales when I was over there!

We don't get corn wrappers here or I would So make them.
That looks so brilliant, I bet you are glad you hit the Mexican markets recently:wink:
:laugh:

I know I am!! :thumb:

Looks fantastic.
Do the corn wraps get eaten or are they a vessel?

Yeah, you always eat the husks first. That way you have ready made floss in place and ready to go

Great thread! Made a few dozen last Thursday w/ chicken enchiladas & rice but forgot to take pictures. :doh:

As the colonel mentions, he likes to eat lots of fiber, most people just use the husks as a vessel.

 

[NickTheGreat]

Outstanding. I've been really wanting to make tamales myself. Maybe this is the summer
