we are big time lovers of the tamale on this blog! i can say with surety that both amanda and i have scoured the web, interviewed friends, and read through countless magazines and cookbooks to find the perfect tamale recipe. it's a hard thing to find. a good friend from our childhood even sent me a message on facebook explaining exactly how she makes her tamales! and each christmas eve i hear about families gathering around their kitchens to make and eat delicious traditional tamales. so since the holidays were just here, my mouth has been watering and i've been craving that perfect tamale fix. and i finally put together a recipe that's a winner. it's a combination of a friend's and other sources all mixed into one. i love it when that sort of thing works out! since tamales can be very time consuming, remember to do a few steps ahead of time. cook a large roast for dinner one night and shred the leftovers to use in these tamales another night. ole! 1
