Chicken Mole Tamales Recipe | How To Use Banana Leaves For Tamales

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Today I am making tender moist and delicious tamales using banana leaves. You can substitute the banana leaves for corn husks, either way these are going to be yummy. With the holiday season in full effect and the colder weather, tamales are always cooking in my kitchen.

    I'm glad the banana leaves come in a bundle but I literally put corn husk back to get them and I'm heavy handed 😅 everytime I fold the bottom it breaks on the side and my maza mix I made almost too wet like when I add the chicken with the salsa Verde the salsa cuts the maza again like I should have left it crumply before adding the chicken.... Still very fun 😅 I rinsed them off with cold water ! That's what it was

    Some of the best tamales I ever had was when I lived in Jalisco Mexico. This guy would pass by on his bike and sell the green leave tamales. Always so soft and flavorful. When I lived in Guanajuato, I swear, the worlds worse tamales! Dry, no flavor, little filling. Yours look great! I love lard☺️

    I have never tried using banana leafs before. I have always used corn husks that were soaked. The problem I always have is that corn husks are always in terrible shapes and sizes.Also I hate trying to place them standing up in a pot. The way you do it laying then flat seem to me so much easier to do . Thank you for making this easy to understand video... SergeantC (Retired US Army 🪖)
