Title: Chicken Tamales
Categories: Poultry, Vegetables, Breads
Yield: 20 servings
24 Dried corn husks
4 lb Broiler/fryer chicken; cut
- up
1 md Onion; quartered
2 ts Salt
1 cl Garlic; crushed
3 qt Water
MMMMM---------------------------DOUGH--------------------------------
1 c Shortening
3 c Masa harina
MMMMM--------------------------FILLING-------------------------------
6 tb Canola oil
6 tb A-P flour
3/4 c Chilli spice mix
1/2 ts Salt
1/4 ts Garlic powder
1/4 ts Pepper
4 1/2 oz (2 cans) sliced ripe olives;
- drained
Hot water
Cover corn husks with cold water; soak until softened,
at least 2 hours.
Place chicken, onion, salt and garlic in a 6-qt.
stockpot. Pour in 3 qt. water; bring to a boil. Reduce
heat; simmer, covered, until chicken is tender, 45-60
minutes. Remove chicken from broth. When cool enough to
handle, remove bones and skin; discard. Shred chicken.
Strain cooking juices; skim off fat. Reserve 6 cups
stock.
For dough, beat shortening until light and fluffy, about
1 minute. Beat in small amounts of masa harina
alternately with small amounts of reserved stock, using
no more than 2 cups stock. Drop a small amount of dough
into a cup of cold water; dough should float. If not,
continue beating, rechecking every 1-2 minutes.
For filling, heat oil in a Dutch oven; stir in flour
until blended. Cook and stir over medium heat until
lightly browned, 7-9 minutes. Stir in seasonings,
chicken and remaining stock; bring to a boil. Reduce
heat; simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until
thickened, about 45 minutes.
Drain corn husks and pat dry; tear 4 husks to make 20
strips for tying tamales. (To prevent husks from drying
out, cover with a damp towel until ready to use.) On
wide end of each remaining husk, spread 3 tablespoons
dough to within 1/2" of side edges; top each with 2
tablespoons chicken filling and 2 teaspoons olives. Fold
long sides of husk over filling, overlapping slightly.
Fold over narrow end of husk; tie with a strip of husk
to secure.
Place a large steamer basket in the stockpot over water;
place tamales upright in steamer. Bring to a boil;
steam, covered, adding hot water as needed, until dough
peels away from husk, about 45 minutes.
