I'm making tamales, and while I will be buying a big hunk of pork for them, it won't have enough fat to make enough lard, plus I also wanted to make the lard ahead of time, since it doesn't need to be super duper fresh. Looking at my notes from last year, I used about 7lb pork shoulder and 2lb lard. The thing is, I asked around about it last year and had multiple butchers say it would be no problem, so I was caught off guard when the staff at those same stotes all said no now. Anyway, I did finally find a butcher that will be saving the fat trimmings for me tomorrow.
My kids have asked for tamales every year since I made them for Christmas about ten years ago, but I am not yet rested up from that batch. Even though we had a tamalada and they helped wrap them, the days ahead making tamale dough (two versions because we have vegans) and fillings (several versions because, again, vegans) it was exhausting. I think it will be either gumbo or oxtail soup this year, and a big pot of beans.
I've never heard that word before! Looking it up, I see that my family has essentially been having an annual tamalada for probably close to 10 years now. Grandma used to make them all on her own, and since she doesn't have anything written down, it's been a joint effort to make sure the recipe lives on. The family recipe is central American, so they're a bit different than Mexican tamales, but I do enjoy both!
I also did a side project last year to make vegan masa for the few vegan/kosher guests we have, and then I usually do a second traditional batch when I'm back home so I can practice, make notes, and have some to share with my local friends. It's definitely a lot of work, usually a 2-3 day project, but it does get easier with practice, and 1-3 assistants.
I found corn broth really improves the vegan dough. You can use cobs to make it, and save the corn for something else. Corn cobs & an onion.
Thanks, I'll keep that in mind! I've used store bought vegetable broth and/or olive brine in the past.
