TAMALE STUFFING

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 1h50m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 poblano chile peppers
1 1/3 cups lard
2 teaspoons baking powder
Kosher salt
3 1/2 cups masa harina (instant corn flour)
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 bunch scallions, chopped
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1 tablespoon chopped chipotle chiles in adobo sauce
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon grated orange zest
2 ripe plantains, chopped
3 tablespoons capers, chopped
2 banana leaves (thawed if frozen)

Steps:

  • Preheat the broiler. Halve the poblanos lengthwise and remove the stems and seeds. Place cut-side down on a baking sheet and broil until browned in spots, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap and set aside 5 minutes. Peel off the skin, then roughly chop.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Combine the lard, baking powder and 1 teaspoon salt in a large bowl and mix with a wooden spoon until combined. Whisk the masa harina, 2 cups hot water and the broth in a separate bowl; add to the lard mixture and mix until smooth.
  • Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the scallions, garlic, chipotles, cumin and orange zest and cook, stirring, until the scallions are soft, about 2 minutes. Add the plantains, roasted poblanos and capers and season with salt.
  • Gently stir the scallion mixture into the masa mixture. Line a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with the banana leaves, crossing one over the other, and add the filling. Fold the banana leaves over the filling, tucking them in to seal. Cover with aluminum foil and bake until the filling is set, about 1 hour, 15 minutes, uncovering halfway through.

TAMALE STUFFED PEPPERS



Tamale Stuffed Peppers image

I cobbled this together from a couple of recipes I found on the internet. I have way too many peppers from my CSA and I love tamales and southwestern cuisine, so I'm going to make this today and will let you know how it goes, and adjust... So...to be perfectly honest, we like the other recipe I have for stuffed peppers - and I use Quinoa, instead of rice. If you make this - tweak it some more and let me know the updates!

  • Saute onion and garlic in a bit of oil until translucent. (few minutes).
  • Add any of spices you'd like to add to the saute and cook for another min to release the oils -- (1/4 tsp adobo and/or 1/2 tsp cumin / 1 tsp chili powder ).
  • Add the onion/garlic mix to a large bowl and then mix the rest of the ingredients in a large bowl to combine.
  • Load the peppers with the mix. Place peppers in a baking pan with 1/2 inch to 1 inch water and bake at 350 degrees for 50 minutes.
