Tamales

[Anonymous No.19674247]

How do you make tamales without the laborious process of rolling them up? Fuck, Kent Rollins has this good recipe for making Tamales and I've done it every time, it's fucking delish and better than any tamale I've bought at a store, even here in Ch-icaa-go, aka Mexico #3.

Is there a way to take the masa/pork broth mix and the pork shreddings themselves and make a meal that doesn't require 4 people wrapping fucking shit for an hour? Kent has a Tamale pie video but he just kinda makes some kind of caserole without any of the above and just throws some masa dollops on top before making. Not what I'm looking for. I want to take the ingredients of a tamale and cook it without having to roll shit. Is this even possible?

Just put the meat in the masa and make tamale onigiri. Or fry them

>do you make tamales without the laborious process
Hell no I won't even consider that Europeon idea
Fuck that GARBAGE
making tamales correctly includes all the labor as it shows in the final product, it's partially the love and consideration for fulfilling the elaborate affair of making something healthy for your family to eat ....I would not go as far as to use the word offended only because it's lost it's actuall meaning
Keep cutting corners and keep asking why it just isn't the same like any idiot would since the answer is more than obvious
In case I haven't made myself clear fuck the nonsense enjoy and savor the process which I imagine you expect to enjoying eating your own homemade tamales and rejoice that your well-being has been served with the love and care meant for those around you as well as yourself

Gotta side with you here anon.
I've made chicken tamales and strawberry tamales before. Once you get into the flow, it goes pretty fast.
I've made other things with masa, mostly fried "Pucks" that I'd then slather with meat, chili (or just spiced stewed tomatoes,) and cheese; But those are another thing altogether.
WORST fucking thing in the world is those canned "tamales"

>How do you make tamales without making tamales
You can't, either get good at rolling or invite some friends over

I made tamales once with a bunch of mexicans at a hostel, they said it was amazing how a gringo could get it right.
It's little better than dogfood desu, 90% of mexican food is just slop and even worse it's slop with a ton of unnecessary work, I'd rather have barbecue slop because at least it's a fraction of the work and is still better than mexican shit.
I'll make tacos every once in awhile because they're rather quick, but that's about it.

every mexican I've know takes shortcuts and does shit work, it's why they finish work so fast and oftentimes you have to redo all their work anyways.

>Every tamale you can buy is 95% corn meal, they're dry and there's almost no filling
Good luck finding that one old lady in town who sells them for 50 cents a piece and makes them 1,000 at a time so they aren't shit. My town is like 3/4 mexican and I still can't find a not shit tamale in town.

I've seen a video of some lady with an icing spatula speed rolling tamales. She'd spread a layer, leave the spatula stuck to the husk on her hand, throw some filling on then spin the spatula so everything rolled up, pinch the bottom and slide it out. She was probably doing ten a minute.

Eh, some do
You can get pretty smashed and still stay capable of making these, they're time-consuming, not difficult

I made around 200 banana leaf tamales in an afternoon for the service of a hotel I was working at during my time in Oaxaca, it is like working at a bakery, you need to set up your working area and find your rhythm, yo do not need to think, which is why I assume old ladies use the time to gossip

The cult of home ownership means everyone has to work one or more full time jobs and there's no family around to spend half the day cooking.

Lol. We weren’t allowed to wear clothes while working. They always thought we would steal fucking tamales or the ingredients.

My first boss was a Mexican running a landscaping crew. No fucking clue why he hired me as a pasty white teen. He was the kung fu master at looking busy and tricking gringos. Best education I could have had

There is only one old lady in all of North America. Abuela Tamale. She exists to keep hope of the perfect tamale alive. She's like the American version of Jesus. Her treat tastes way better though
