EASY CORN TAMALES



Easy Corn Tamales image

Provided by Marcela Valladolid

Time 1h50m

Yield 20 tamales

Number Of Ingredients 8

7 cups fresh corn kernels, from 7 ears
1 1/2 sticks (6 ounces) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 egg
1/2 tablespoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup harina de maiz (dried corn flour) *
20 dried corn husks, soaked in warm water for 30 minutes*

Steps:

  • Working in batches, add the corn kernels to a blender or food processor and puree until smooth.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream the butter and sugar until pale. Add the egg, salt, and baking powder. Mix to incorporate. Add the flour and pureed corn and mix until blended and forms a loose smooth dough.
  • Put a corn husk lengthwise in front of you with the wide side closest to you. Spread 3 tablespoons of the dough all over the bottom half (wide side) of the corn husk, leaving about a 1-inch-wide border on the left and right sides. Pick up the 2 long sides of the corn husk and bring them together. Roll both sides of the corn husks in the same direction over the filling.
  • Repeat with remaining corn husks and dough. Arrange the tamales, seam side down, in a steamer and add 1/2-inch of water. Cover with a tight fitting lid, bring to a simmer and steam for 1 hour, adding additional water, as needed to maintain 1/2-inch of water in the pan. Remove the tamales from the steamer to a serving platter and serve.

  • In a medium frying pan, heat the oil over medium heat. Separately, finely chop the onion and garlic.
  • Add the onion to the pan and lightly sauté for 2 minutes, or until the onion becomes transparent. Add the garlic and continue cooking for one minute.
  • Next, add the Huitlacoche and epazote to the frying pan. As you continue to cook, the Huitlacoche will release a bit of liquid, so stir lightly. Continue sautéing for about 5 more minutes, after which the ingredients will be done. Do not overcook them, otherwise they will become dry.
  • Place a portion of about 2 tablespoons of the sautéed ingredients in each tortilla, and serve the tacos alongside a good raw serrano salsa.
