All The Recipes Are Included On The DVD
Including this tamale recipe:
Cuban Tamales
- Cuban Tamales – With Black Beans, Rice and Plantain
Unlike the more common Mexican tamales, these are made with fresh corn and no flour. They are also boiled and not steamed.
1 Diced Green or Red Pepper
1 Chopped Onion
1 cup Chopped Cooked Meat
1 can or box of Tomato Sauce
Cumin
All Purpose Seasoning
Salt
4 cups Freshly Ground Corn
24 corn husks soaked overnight
1. Saute the onions, peppers, garlic and seasonings in oil.
2. Add meat and tomato sauce and simmer.
3. Pour the corn into a bowl and fold in meat and vegetable mixture.
4. Fold the corn husks into a pocket shape, with a square closure at one end. It should
look like a pocket with one end open.
5. Fill the folded corn husks and fold the other pocket over.
6. Wrap with string to hold together, or, like in Cuba, use a cornhusk strip. I find string
easier.
7. Cook for about 25 minutes in boiling water.
