I ended up writing this out, hope it helps others. Somethings I couldn’t know from the video, like cooking temps or the pork marinade amounts.
Makes 12-15 nacatamales
Masa
3 cups instant corn masa
2 ¼ cups warm water
Mix masa and water until well combined. Take piece and roll into ball. Press down with 2 fingers. If it doesn’t stick to fingers, ready for next step.
Masa Seasoning
1 bunch Mint
3 small tomatoes
2 bell peppers
½ large onion
6 garlic cloves
1 cup water
1 tsp achiote paste (annatto)
2 tbsp salt
½ cup naranja agria (bitter orange juice)
1 cup lard (or oil)
Chop tomatoes, peppers, and onion. Place chopped veggies into blender, along with garlic cloves and water. Blend until smooth. Strain sauce into masa. To this, add achiote, salt, and naranja agria. Mix until well combined; it should be smooth with no clumps. In a large pot, melt lard and add masa mixture (temp unknown?). Stir continuously for about 15 minutes. Masa should be deepened in color and very thick.
Filling
1 cup washed rice, soaking in water
1 potato, peeled and sliced
Mint
Sliced to mayo
Sliced bell pepper
Sliced onion
1 lbs Pork, marinated overnight
1 lbs pork ribs
Marinade for pork
Bitter Orange, achiote (annatto), salt, pepper, chopped/sliced onion, garlic
Assembly
Plantain leaves (2 per nacatamal)
Aluminum foil
Cooking twine
Prepare plantain leaves according to instructions (rinse leaves in hot water?). Lay sheet of aluminum foil down and top with two plantain leaves. Add masa (2 plumps, about ½-1 cup?) and spread out a little. Top with rice (2 tbsp?), 1 slice potato, slices of bell pepper and onion, tomato, sprig of mint, and pieces of pork/pork rib. Turn sheet of foil so it is like a diamond, points are up and down. Lift top and bottom points to meet above, and roll down until filling is reached. Feel to the sides of bulge where filling ends and press down to push out air. Fold the excess aluminum foil under, and fold ends again to ensure fully closed and no water gets in. Tie tamal crosswise with twine. Place nacatamales into pressure cooker. Add 2 cups water and cook for 45 minutes. Or add to large pot with a lot of water, cook for 3-4 hours (temp unknown, medium-low?).
I'm surprised she didn't add raisins or prunes. It's my favorite
This a amazing thank you lady’s I will send pictures of mine
I'll be honest, watching this video made me want to cry tears of joy. My grandma was the only one that knew how to make them in our family. She is now too old and doesn't remember, so I'm excited to try this out!
Loving all this nica content
Literally 😣💘
exactlyyy
I'm Nicaraguan and chuckled a little at the seriousness of her 'Don't stop stirring. DO NOT STOP STIRRING." Hahah, growing up that was ALWAYS what my mom emphasized. If you were in charge of stirring the masa, it was such a big responsibility not to let it get 'ahumada!'
Pero Like finally has a Nica cast member?? 😭 I never thought I’d see the day, I’m so happy!! ☺️🇳🇮
Love! Love! Love! Finally some 🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮 Nicaraguan Representation
Damn. I live here in Nicaragua and I've never tried to cook them. You nailed it. You inspired me, too... Great video... I have been subscribed to Pero like because I loved the guy from El Salvador. You're awesome too... Keep doing the Nicaraguan videos
She doesn’t know how to make tamales believe me 😂
I love how they're similar to ours in Guatemala. Love learning to make other variations of tamales🥰. Central America (Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua) our tamales look the same. Similar foods and customs🥰 🇬🇹 🇭🇳 🇸🇻 🇳🇮 , even our flags lol
Oh my goodness, those nacatamales look delicious, I heard they are difficult to make but the way you explained...I think I'll give it a try.
Thanks a million for sharing.
I'm so glad you're uploading more Nica content! I hope you continue doing so!
I first tried this on a Sunday in Managua. I had the worst hangover of my life after going to party with my nica friend. His gramma brought it out and with hot chocolate and coffee it saved my life. I’ve made this once before in Canada. It went well, but this recipe is better than my last. I’m going to be making these for my partners friend and his construction employees who are from nica. I think it will go well
fellow nica here
I too, grew up with these! My abuela and Mom, had us help every year, making about 100 of them-sometimes more. They were presents for our neighbors/Priests/friends..they couldn't get enough of these! VERY different variation though. They added more and we always just used aluminum foil. This brought back memories, as I will prepare some this year! Thank you
Looks like my grandma’s 🤩 I love it!!
You gave me the courage to try to make it myself!
Saludos y bendiciones Vanessa, tu hermosa! You have given true pride to the Nica name!
Me, half nica, never having nacatamales, watching this video: hUh, I wOnDeR iF i cAn dO tHaT??
Looks so good and authentic!!! Made me drool 🤤
I never thought about using a pressure cooker. Thanks for the idea 💡
Vanessa when can I try your Nacatamales? Looking like a snack
Love it especially when you add the little round chiles and raisens around the rice the raisens and chiles turn the rice brown and sweet & spicy so good
They are not difficult to make but it is a long process.
My wife is from Managua and now she wants to fly somewhere to eat Nicaraguan food. There’s none in our area.
En.miami hay quienes te lo envian cerradobal vacio y delivery express... te llega en.un par de dias en buen.estado
Pero no recuerdo la pagina web
Wow looks legit and delicious! I often watch recipe videos pero get scared because of the lard and the time and effort y me da miedo lol but u gave me the urge!
Please do a sopa boracha it's a Nicaragüense dessert I would love to see it
I found out there were 2 big tribes that took up 3/4ths of the pre-columbian Nicaragua population which are the Nicarao and the Nacahua, both of which are Nahua tribes and were said to have migrated to central america from Mexico as a result of the collapse of Teotihuacan and Tula. I cant help but feel like there's a connection between Nacatamales and the Nacahua tribe due to the similarity in the name as well as tamales being Nahua food
I’am making me some
For thanksgiving ill just have to get pressure cooker since i only have a small cook pot but then again am i able to do in on a stove with deep pot ?
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 I love 💕
I like how u do this nacatamal thank you so much for teaching
I want one!
I will definitely try to make them. My mom used to make them. 😢 I miss her and her cooking.
My mom is Nicaraguan and makes nacatameles different but at the same time similar.
Thank you so much im making them.🌸🙏
We had some dear friends from Nicaragua that made nacatamales a lot. They are now deceased but I am glad to see you made them. You have more guts than I do. Because I won't even try making Mexican tamales. I find it laborsome and arduous. Thanks for doing it though. I now know how they are made.
La carne con que la sasonaste?
Vanessa is always looking so gorgeous.
Que bien, yo nunca aprendi hacerlos, too much work.
Carne asada😊
Where can I find the whole recipe written out?? I can’t find it anywhere and I need more explanation on the pork marinade 😭😭😭
my grandma passed away in July and she would make these around the holidays for the whole family. I decided today that I would attempt making them to feel close to her even though she's gone now. I'm excited but also a but nervous bc I don't want to screw it up.
🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮
Is there an actual written recipe ANYWHERE? I wasn’t in the FB video or this one. I need more explanation on the pork marinade 😭😭😭
Yo soy Mexicana and i want to make My husband some Nacatamales. Thank you for your video ❤.. lo agradezco
Vanessa is a cutie
Please mix the masa with your handssss 😭
What type of potato? Waxy or starchy?
Puro nica de granda nicaragua
A la masa, my mom also blends into the “sauce” boiled pork and the water of the pork, in León we don’t add tomatos into the mixture.
You forgot the alcaparras, las pasas y las aceitunas.
Tu mamá es de Nicaragua? Suena al acento Nica
nica on top🇳🇮!
You forgot the alcaparras, las pasas, ciruelas y las aceitunas!
Falto la ciruela
Missed the sour orange juice on the masa
Yummm 😋
El nacatamal is the best tamal
News for me😍
🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮❤️❤️❤️
Representation Nicaragüense?? People don't even acknowledge we exist lol.
Que rico
Lol😂omg I never saw this I my life foil paper for nacatamales lol 😂people will gel Alzheimer’s lol 😂 tamales take a less four full ours to steam it omg this can hurt people ! 45 minutes 😢unbelievable 😅
You failed by using instant masa LOL You’re supposed to make masa from scratch
It’s not a huge arduous process what it is is laziness because women don’t like to cook nowadays but if you were in the middle of the country without all that fancy cookware in your house you would have no choice but to cook What is happening to the women Today
I can eat 10 of those no problem
First
Ahh…. NO . But thanks
Naca tamales are Honduran… 🤦🏻♀️
Ha no
@@nepalmjellyworm look it up.
Its called similarities btwn Latin American countries eating historically common ingredients like CORN…like Arroz y frijoles!!!!!
Look our tamales in Guatemala are also similar. El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Guatemala all the same looking.
@@MJ-ib7iq Thank you! In Central America (Guatemala,Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua) we have very similar foods and customs.
