    Then intro part where Rick explains his connection to tamale making through his mother was lovely to hear and see, especially the photos of Rick at various ages with his family. The best part of the story was Rick persevering after his mother's death to carry on the traditions with the next generation of his family.

    just lovely. thank you rick and everyone involved. the preview for the next episode looked really good.
    i also have to say, something about these recipes i've seen so far, seems more approachable than i've seen before. like these tamales. instead of needing to get the chicken centered inside the tamale, just put it on top, and fold it shut. same thing with the enchiladas from last week. no need to roll them, bake them and take a while. just put a little in, fold it shut. makes it seem that much more approachable.
    really makes me want to get the book.

    My love for banana leaf tamales comes with growing up with Filipino foods.
    It blew my mind when I found out about these
    The best I've had was from lady that used to sell them near an old job but she moved back to Mexico to take care of a disabled family member
    I never found ones that tasted like them

    Where I live it's very difficult to find fresh Masa. But I can get dried prepared hominy (pozole). If I cook the pozole till soft, then grind it up in a food processor, is that the same as fresh Masa?

    • @cronista26
      @cronista26 2 роки тому

      No, but you don’t need to get the fresh masa, you can get the cornmeal bag in the super market and add the broth and the rest of the ingredients until you get the texture you need.

      There are plenty of authentic vegetarian options for tamales, including quelites (amaranth greens), rajas (roasted sliced poblano peppers), or squash. Although I don't know if a fully vegan option would work, because the lard and chicken stock are necessary for the masa.
