Yesterday we spent the day with the Lux family. Marcos, our dentist turned 27 and we were invited to celebrate with them and his mom and I planned to make tamales together. It was a fun day with all of us women-folk hanging out in the kitchen working on the various phases of tamales making. Our recado (tamale sauce) consisted of pumkin seeds, sesame seeds, ancho chiles, another kind of dried red chile, chocolate, cinnamon, cloves, red bell peppers and tomatoes. All ingredients had to be toasted and then thrown together in the blender to make the sauce. Then, after a great lunch, we set up the assembly line--rice dough or potato dough, sauce, chicken or pork, sauce, olive/prune/pepper garnish all wrapped in two big green leaves.
Yummy!
