Buenas tardes, Raffies!
Today we are going to Honduras and enjoying some sweet treats. We are making tamales. These steamed cakes are made out of fresh corn, wrapped in the leaves of the corn and steamed. They can be savoury or sweet and can therefore accompany meals or are a great breakfast in Central America.
For tonight, I decided to try out the sweet version. I followed this video on hot to make my tamales. My only complaint its that my corn had much smaller leaves than the one in the video, which made the wrapping a bit trickier.
For those of you who do not understand Spanish, here is a nice English version.
I must say that I was quite concerned about the outcome. Nevertheless, I really enjoyed the preparation. And as for the taste, it was a nice one. Since I grew up with Polenta, these cakes reminded me of polenta. Once again, I would love to try them out in Central America!
Love,
Raffi
