    ingredients 24 Dried corn husks

  • step 2
    ingredients 4 cup Fresh corn kernels#11;
    1 Small red onion (chopped)
    1 1/2 cup Water
    instructions Puree the corn, onion and water in a food processor.  Transfer the mixture to a mixing bowl and stir in the butter until combined.  
  • step 3
    ingredients 2 tablespoon Honey#11;
    4 ounce Yellow cornmeal#11;
    1 Stick unsalted butter (melted)
    instructions Add the cornmeal and honey and mix until there are no visible lumps.  (the mixture will be loose)
  • step 4
    ingredients   
    instructions Remove the corn husks from the water and set aside the best 20 husks.  Drain and pat dry.  Tear the remaining husks into 1-inch wide strips to be used for tying.  
  • step 5
    ingredients   
    instructions Lay 2 husk flat on a work surface with the tapered ends facing out and the broad bases overlapping by about 3 inches.  
  • step 6
    ingredients   
    instructions Place about 1/3 cup of masa mixture in the center.  Bring the long sides up over the masa, slightly overlapping, and pat down to close. 
  • step 7
    ingredients   
    instructions Tie each end of the bundle with a strip of corn husk, pushing the filling toward the middle as you tie.  Trim the ends to about 1/2 inch beyond the tie.  Tamales can be assembled up to 4 hour ahead and refrigerated.

  • step 10

    ingredients 1 cup fresh or frozen corn (thawed)
    roasted garlic sauce
