Delicious and Practical Tamales Recipe
Hello dear readers! Today, I want to introduce you to a wonderful Mexican delight in the kitchen: Tamales! With this gluten-free recipe, you will experience both a healthy and delightful taste. You might need to be a bit patient while making tamales, but believe me, every minute is worth it for this delicious result! So let's start by putting the corn husks in hot water. I know it sounds a bit strange, but this will soften them and make them ready for tamales. Be patient, we are creating something wonderful!
- 25-30 dried corn husks
- 1¼ cups masa harina
- ⅓ cup coconut oil
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- 1 cup gluten-free broth
- Spicy Shredded Pork Filling
First, soak the corn husks in a pot filled with hot water for 30 minutes to 1 hour. This will soften them.
In a large bowl, add masa harina, coconut oil, baking powder, chili powder, and salt. Mix well with a hand mixer.
Add 1/2 cup of broth to the mixture and stir until the dough reaches a spreadable consistency. Add a bit more liquid if necessary.
Spread the dough on the corn husks about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick and place 1 tablespoon of meat filling in the center.
Fold the husks in half and fold the overhanging part towards the center. Fold the narrow bottom part up towards the center and secure with a husk tie.
Place the tamales upright in a steamer basket with the open side facing up. Steam for 45 minutes.
Remove the tamales from the husks and serve hot. Enjoy!
