/ck/ - Food & Cooking

>angrily open the door one day thinking the fucking mormons are back
>it's a 70 year old woman going door to door selling tamales with a white as fuck interpreter at least two generations her junior
This is my tamale story. Everything went better than expected.

>>12798462
Well anon that is a very interesting story about tamales, was that 70 year old tamales good? Have any plans on cooking some nice later on today?

What you gonna fill them with?

Tamales are based but I'm too lazy to actually make them and just have some place make them for me for Christmas.

>>12798521
>What you gonna fill them with?
Pork, though some of the tamales have a strip of jalapeno, carrots, potatoes, but most and just pork

Im only making some because I was gifted a whole pig leg and had no clue on what to make with it, ooh was there a lot of fat on that piece of leg

>>12798588
damn. nice. I should actually go out and make some. That's some good shit right there.
I can't find good ingredients in Connecticut though.

>>12798432
How many people have you decapitated?
also, how much lard do you add?

>>12798662
>I can't find good ingredients in Connecticut though
The only hard part would be the pig and made the leaves because of your location, either way I have hope for you
>>12798667
>How many people have you decapitated?
None, only a leg (pic related) I did the best that I could since the leg was still frozen after a whole day of defrosting
>also, how much lard do you add?
I dont add lard to the meat only to the masa and it wasn't much, though that liquid you are seeing at the base is just the Chile

Are you mexican

>>12798432
godDAMN I love tamales. Why they gotta be such a hassle to make?

>>12798728
>mexican
What part of spic didn't you understand? (In short yes)
>>12798748
Idk man but they are worth the work and wait

>>12798588
>shitty pulled pork slathered in some spic spices
>not real low n slow gallons of lard carnitas

>>12798432
When are you going back?

>Also what are yall planning to cook

I made a thing. Pretty sure it qualifies as food. It's kinda like an Indian-Italian fusion thing.

>parboil some hot italian sausages
>cut them up
>brown them
>reserve
>use some of the rendered fat to saute onions and garlic
>add in pepper, cayanne, chili powder, turmeric, cumin
>toast this up nice
>toss in some mushrooms
>add back in the sausage
>tomato sauce
>curry leaves and oregano
>simmer that shit for a bit
>serve over gnocchi
>top with parmesan
>serve along side some fresh apple, blackberry, carrot and spinach juice

It was a fun experiment but definitely won't make it again.

>>12798985

Do you eat the outside?

>>12798462
An old Mexican lady once gave me a big tub of tamales for helping change her tire. That was pretty cool.

>>12799087
Yes, but you can remove them if you're a virgin

>>12799087
>Do you eat the outside?
What?

He's asking if you eat the corn husk you wrap it in

Jesus. I knew /pol/ fags were everywhere, but seriously? Also SoCal fuck in New England. Jelly as fuck op. Post pics of the finished tamales. I need to find a place that makes them here. My white family even bought tamales for holiday seasons because who doesn't love those things?

>>12799262
Oh god no, unless I want to have a bad time at the toilet other than that no

>>12799280
>Post pics of the finished tamales
I got you senpai, the small ones are ready but the large ones, that I made, are almost done

>>12798432
Reported to ice. You should have self deported when you had the chance, Manuel.

>>12799324
Looks absolutely divine. Very based.

>>12799329
>Reported to ice. You should have self deported when you had the chance, Manuel.
Why do you fag even leave /pol/ and you should have said Juan instead it's more stereotypical

>>12799343
>you should have said Juan instead it's more stereotypical
Not all spics are named Juan you racist spic.
Some spics are named Chata and Chella and Chemma
And have a son-in-law named Jeff.

>>12799340

>>12799324
Here is the size difference between some of the tamales because some the husks were fucking huge

The full first batch of tamales Is done i still have some left for a second batch so I'll be here for another ~3 hours

Any other ideas for the next time i get a pigs leg, if any one know what to do with a whole leg?

Looks great mate. Would eat for sure. Now you inspired me to try this. I haven't had a good tamale in forever.

>>12798662
Connecticut? What's up fellow Nutmegger? Where abouts are you? I'm white and am gonna be making tamales and I have my ingredients.

>>12799570
Go for it man, you got this
>>12799607
>I'm white and am gonna be making tamales and I have my ingredients
That's what up senpai, can wait to see how your tamales come out

>>12798432
How old are you and how is it your first batch? I thought making tamales was something every hispanic household did.

>>12799448
>not recognizing a cheech and chong quote
You should kill yourself my man

>>12798662
Go back to California beaner.

>>12799699
>How old are you and how is it your first batch?
Early 20s man, it's my first batch as in I did it all by myself
>I thought making tamales was something every hispanic household did?
We do but we usually are told what to do to help out and/or have little parts in the process

>>12799649
I have my masa and husks. All I need is my protein that I want to cook. I figure chicken or pork to start with? I'm looking for a sauce I might want to make with them.
Since I'm white..I'm gonna be doing this myself and only youtube to tell me what to do. This probably will happen this weekend but I'd still like input on ideas. I know I have to steam them. I have an old steamer my mom gave me. But I thought I was supposed to do them in a big pot.

>>12799802
>I figure chicken or pork to start with
Its usually done with pork but you are able to do it with chicken, hell I remember one time my aunt made some of those sweet tamales with strawberries and pineapple in reality do whatever you please man

Man its not christmas yet. I hope this is practice for december. Tamales are a Christmas thing.

>>12799860
Those pineapple ones are bomb man

>>12799883
>Man its not christmas yet. I hope this is practice for december. Tamales are a Christmas thing.
Nah just like menudo or posole its meant for anytime of the year
>>12799901
Hell yea that are, I cant wait till next i make tamales again cause they would be on the menu

Preheated tamales are the best because the masa is nice vcd and crunchy though the second batch is still hot from last night

>>12798462
I got one if we're sharing
>elementary school
>reading a short story for English class about tamales and mexican family or some shit
>girl in class is some kind of hispanic
>have a special day where their family made a bunch of tamales amd brought them in
>nobody really explains anything, they just give them out
>tried eating the husk like it's a burrito
>man this tastes like shit

Did you have to look up a recipe or was it hardwired into your DNA?

>>12801756
>Did you have to look up a recipe or was it hardwired into your DNA?
Most of the ingredients and processes was by memory, so I'm going to say yes its hardwired into my DNA

Give us the recipe, the recipe!

>>12801632
I used the pressure cooker the last time I made them, it worked out really well. You’re tamales look great, they’re a pain in the ass but very worth it.

>>12798432
What are you filling them with, Anon?

>>12802427
>What are you filling them with, Anon?
Pork and some veggie, as discussed here >>12798588

>>12802451
