Tamale Recipe Needed

[Catchfish]

Used to have a lady in Az make us goose tamales. Now I’m really wanting to give it a shot with some moose meat. Does anybody have a recipe that they love.

Reading that made me hungry! Tamales are such a treat that I’ll usually binge until I’m stuffed if I can find a batch.

The above recipe is fantastic.

That said, you can cheat and simply make the masa and then for fillings use green enchapada sauce and roasted chicken from Costco or red enchalada sauce and pulled pork or beef or make a green chili, corn and cheese vegetable filling.

I use an electric Turkey toaster and aluminum tins for steaming.

If you made a big batch of these, how well would it work to freeze some and re-heat later?

I hope good because that’s the direction I’m going

We used to have an annual tamale making gathering with friends and family and send enough pork/beef/chicken and veggies home with each family for a year.

@Ryan Avery has eaten one or two and his son didn’t like tamales until he did.

I don’t make them, but I buy alot of em (dozens at a time) from a place we found and a coworker , and we freeze em. Not the same as fresh but definitely still great.

When you go to heat them up in the microwave, put a damp paper towel over them. They’ll come out more moist (not dried out) that way.
