Tamales kit

I bought this as a gift for a freind who has already made a batch of the best tamales I have tried, homemade makes a difference. The only thing I question is the size of the pot, the description says 16 quart but it is much smaller than my other 16 quart stock pots. I would have choosen the other kit on this site that comes with the masa spreader and is described as a 12 quart steamer which is probably the size of this one. That spreader would make the process easier.

even my first attempt was good enough to pass some out to the old single vets that are my neighbors! Wish it had included whatever you have to help smooth and thin the masa!

A Great Kit

Although I have not yet used it, I am very pleased with the quality of this product. I wish MexGrocer would include print outs of the red and green tamale recipes posted on their blog - that would be a nice touch. But, in a pinch, the instructions on the Maseca package should do. Thank you and please keep doing what you do so well!!

6 cups Maseca corn masa mix for tamales
6 cups Chicken broth
1 cup corn oil
2 tsp salt
1 tsp baking powder
1 1/2 large rotisserie chicken
2 cans Salsa Verde or tomatillo sauce
1 bag corn husks

RECIPE INSTRUCTIONS

1. Soak the corn husks in warm water until soft.
2.

oil, salt, baking powder and the chicken broth to obtain a consistent
mixture.
3. Shred the chicken and marinate in the green salsa or tomatillo sauce.
Spread masa evenly over corn husks, and spread a spoonful of marinated chicken on top of the masa.
4. Fold the sides of the cornhusk to center over the masa so that they overlap to make along package.
5. Fold the empty part of the husk under so that it rests against the side of the tamale with a seam.

easily from the corn husk.
