This is not really a âhealthyâ food post (especially the way she made them), but my amazing (Russian, mind you) wife decided to tackle tamales from scratch today.
Well, okay, the prep started Sunday, of courseâŚI mean, the meat wasnât gonna season and cook itself, right?
But today was where it was at, and I got to âhelpâ by tasting things, smelling things, and washing a lot of dishes (mid-prep)âŚall while I was supposed to be working, mind you.
In the end, when your rock star wife makes amazing, truly amazing, tamales from scratch and uses her ПанŃиŃниŃĐ° (steamer used for Central Asian dumplings) to make them literally as good as youâve ever had (and youâve had A LOT), youâre a pretty happy guy.
Question for the FB Family, one of my wifeâs dreams is to travel to various places and learn to cook local dishes from the experts. Where should we go (when this whole COVIDcraziness is over, of course) to learn how to make tamales first-hand? I mean, sheâs already pretty good, butâŚ
Taco Tuesday?
How about Tamale Monday?
