Christmas 2011 Eats & More
I'm just a little late on sharing about Christmas with you all. We had a fabulous time with the family! This was our first Christmas in Dallas, so I wanted to show-off my Latin skills in the kitchen. Christmas dinner consisted of 4 types of tamales and brisket tacos! Ay yi yi! They were awesome! This Latina wanna-be doesn't use lard in her tamales. I made some using extra virgin coconut oil and some with extra virgin olive oil. This was my second experience making tamales, and my first time experimenting with tamales de dulce (my Mexicana Amiga told me they tasted like her mom's, so I guess I did good).

My sister and I make tamales with pork and chicken. We wanted to make dulce but haven't found a good recipe. We made 20 dozen!
ReplyDeleteWoW! You all are tamale machines! I based my tamales dulce off of this recipe- http://www.mexicanrecipes.me/sweettamales.htm
ReplyDeleteI did not use raisins, nuts, lard or sugar. Instead of lard- I used extra virgin coconut oil, and instrad of sugar- I used agave nectar. I've never had them before, so wasn't sure how they were supposed to be, but the feedback was that everyone enjoyed them.
