Binging with Babish: Tamales from Coco

Поділитися

  • Pixar's latest laser-guided annihilator of heartstrings, Coco, starts off in the sunny Mexican town of Santa Cecilia, where 12-year-old Miguel's abulea does two things very well: staving off music of any kind, and slinging tamales. These little packets of south-of-the-border love can be tricky and time-consuming, but make for the perfect Oscar party snack next week when we watch Coco inevitably lose the trophy to Boss Baby.

      I'm from Central Europe and tamales is a completely foreign concept to me, so measurements come in handy for someone like me. We eyeball the ingredients when making kolach or bramborak, yet if you would need measurements if you wanted to try it without having to travel across half the world. Just get off your high horse.

    when I make tamales with my mom we literally use the same ingredients you're using, but in the region of Mexico that we're from (Zamora, Michoacan) our masa is not white: we add a little of the 'spice paste' into the masa and we knead the dough for like 45 minutes straight. I'm not sure what region of Mexico your tamales are from, but if you put that much lard, they're 100% legit; THIS is cultural appreciation so it's a double thumbs-up for me.

    • @PCspray

      I thought the red spicy masa was a "norteño" thing. Also i've never had pork before, it's usually beef and some times deer.

      Can confirm is a "norteño thing" my mom asks me to go to a nearby "molino" to buy that dough i think its called "Mixtamal" and is often used to make "gorditas" too.
      The most special thing about tamales is the array of things you can stuff on them, last month my girlfriend made a wellbunch of them to take to her relatives living in san antonio and she made some sweet tamales with chiplote and chabacano mermelade and they were absolutely tasteful the ones made from cajeta those were the winners tho.

    There is another version of tamales that my family makes occasionally.
    They are sweet tamales. We change the dough a bit. We add sugar, cinnamon, and raisins. (Maybe vanilla extract sometimes) We also add pink food coloring to tell apart the sweet tamales from the spicy or savory ones.
    Or maybe instead of pork, we like to have cheese and jalapeños.

      Tamales are different even within Mexico. North Mexico (smaller, greasier) tamales are way different from Center Mexico tamales (bigger, with crumbles), that are different from South Mexico tamales (tamales oaxaquelos: large as center's, thin and greasier as north's, but with more herbs and using banana leafs instead of corn husks)

    • @alexisgrunden1556
      @alexisgrunden1556 3 роки тому +15

      TIL that there's over 500 varieties of tamale in Mexico alone; add in the rest of Central/South America, plus Hispanic US dwellers and the Caribbean variants, and you've probably close to tripled that. And that's without even coming anywhere _near_ family recipes!
