simplest and best salsa, fresh tomatoes, onion, chilis, cilantro, some salt and lemon juice. Chopped mixed and done in 5 minutes.

Well, they are rolled in the corn husks, so the end is usually open. Take a look at this link...

Sees your take turned out pretty well! Your results are likely far better than Chitty would have been able to do.

Sorry Katie...but that looks about as enticing as Ant Robertson's boiled chicken.

I think I'd sooner eat your cold Jolibee

Yeah, with all due respect Katie, I hope it tasted better than it looks.

You don't have an airfryer or a steamer you kunt

In fact I remember you using your rice cooker as a slow cooker

Jesus, you two are brutal. Dilly, you are not one to talk after that disgusting steak you posted. It made me do a mini puke in my mouth. Thankfully, I had an open beer close.

Not quite, but I think Dilly has me beat.

Katie knows we're only teasing her.

Doncha, Katie?

I'm sure there is no truth at all to the rumour that she served her tamales with a side of Savlon and a clean sock.

@AO - thanks for the tip re: salsa. I'll try it next time.

@Reg, Hal, etc - no problem, no harm done. I can take criticism. I didn't have corn husk so I substitited it with banana leaves (which I have plenty of). I also didn't have the yellow corn flour/ masa harina flour, which is used in Mexico & is probably widely available in the USA or Latin America, but it's not common here in PH.

As I've said, I used a mix of APF & corn starch (widely available here) which has a different consistency from the one I see in the pics.

The ones that I see in the pics, the dough is a bit yellow coloured - must be due to the flour they use.

It tasted good enough for me. Next time, I'll make it a bit spicier by adding another chili to the chicken mix.

I also didn't have "guajillo peppers" to make a guajillo sauce, which is reddish in colour. It's what makes the tamales reddish in the pics. I only had orange chilis (not fully ripe yet).

I had to make do with the ingredients that I had, and I'm content with what I produced. I know that my tamales look pale, but I'm ok with that.

Cheers!

A valiant effort, Katie.

Actually picked up the ingredients for a slow cooked chili on the way back from training.





and no I'm not using my fucking rice cooker.





I'm using Edith's rice cooker.


She's gonna go absolutely spazzo when she sees it sitting in the sink unwashed.

from that camera angle.

^ What's wrong with American or streaky bacon, Hyacinth?

@lulu/ eduardo - cuando tu visitas en Manila? Cebu esta 1 hora de Manila. heh. Buena swerte in cooking your chili.

@snubs - thanks. I haven't eaten an authentic Mexican tamale, so what I made is an approximation. Prior to your mention of tamales, I have been curious about it since it's been eaten/ mentioned by some travel vloggers. Cheers.

I've watched this lady make chicken tamales in red sauce. The ingredients are a bit different from the link that I used, but I was interested in how she made the dough & her technique. Aside from the dough having a yellowish color due to the yellow corn flour, she added some red sauce to the dough. I'll do that next time, so that my dough will look more yellowish.

There are also recipes for chicken tamales in green sauce. Cheers all!

A bit like Snubby in the Yankified Korean and Scottish restaurants he visits.
He hasn't a clue what it should really taste like, shit from a shinola or a turd from a tamale

It's shit.

Well, to be fair, it's great on burgers etc, but, as any self-respecting British man knows, it has no part to play on a decent fry up.

Guilty as charged last weekend, but needs must in my case.

No such thing as shit bacon…

… unless it’s cremated to a piece of charcoal like my Glaswegian Ex used to eat it.

Did you know the British army never served back bacon, only ever streaky bacon to their troops. My dad told me on a barstool last week.
Where's PAG or Chas to vouch for that?
Also the Yanks call your fat free shit- Canadian bacon

So I think you'll find a lot of self respecting Brits made this Country what it is today... on streaky bacon.
