CHILE TAMALE PIE



Chile Tamale Pie image

This crowd-pleasing potluck dish is easy to prepare. It packs a little heat, a little sweet and a big-time authentic southwestern flavor. There is no substitute for freshly ground chiles. A small food processor on high speed may be used to grind the chiles and cumin, or use a dedicated coffee grinder for fresh spices. It is a fantastic $15 investment for fresh spices anytime-and your palate will thank you! -Ralph Stamm, Dayton, Ohio
