Veggie Curry Tamales


Veggie Curry Tamales

INGREDIENTS

18 cups Basic Fresh Masa prepared with vegetable stock
1/4 cup olive oil
2 large onions, diced
1 clove garlic, minced
2 russet potatoes, peeled and diced
3 carrots cut into 1/4 inch slices
1 to 1/2 cups green beans stemmed and cut in to 1/4 inch pieces
2 (14 ounce) cans coconut milk
1/4 cup tomato sauce, fresh or canned
1 1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
2 to 3 tablespoon curry powder
1 tablespoon chile powder
36 dried corn husks, soaked, washed and drained



DIRECTIONS

  1. Prepare the masa.
  2. In large skillet or pot over medium heat, heat olive oil. Add onions, garlic, potato, carrots, beans and saute for 5 minutes stirring occasionally until onions are translucent.
  3. Add the coconut milk, tomato sauce, salt and pepper and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes, until the sauce has reduced slightly.
  4. Add curry powder and chile powder and simmer for another 15 to 20 minutes until the vegetables are tender. Remove from heat and set aside
  5. To assemble tamales, spread 1/3 to 1/2 cup of masa on the smooth side of a corn husk. Place 2 or more heaping tablespoons of the vegetable mixture in the centre of the masa.
  6. Fold the tamale using the fold-over method, then wrap in parchment paper to keep the sauce from dripping out while cooking. Repeat with remaining tamales.
  7. Steam the tamales for 50-55 minutes
