Tamale Making 101 - Tamales Oaxaquenos Recipe

[pattanac]

The banana leaves give a little bit of a sweeter flavor, but tamales are delicious with either corn sheaves or banana leaves. I use the banana leaves because where I live the corn sheaves are harder to find.

That's a waste of foil!!

Save our planet ppl!! lol

The leaf needs to be bigger so she can fold the ends under, that way they don't unfold.

I make mine "Estilo Oaxaqueño"-not using mole, but they're still good-@ least that's what I think =)

[elshack1]

these is a tamal its just that theres so many different kinds that the usual ones r the ones with mole and meat but i think that one is called tamal de "rajas"

[lamborghinifan6]

i've been to oaxaca and this is not how the people made the tamales they just used the mole the never added green peppers or olives

[monicasanaphre]

I agree, though tamales can be filled with anything you like.

hot tamales!

[tubeytubiste]

Sorry guy but this is not a Oaxacan tamal, we use the banana lift but we dont make it that way and we never mix the olives, and the peppers with mole

I've tried this tamales with achiote and pork meat instead of mole poblano and beef., and they are incredible delicious!

Banana leaves are available in any latino supermarket!

banana tamales are my fav

its just so moist and yum lol

if you have not tried the banana leaf ones please do there is a major difference.

[CAFEYHUMO]

Very nice video, the difference between corn leaf and banana leaf is very VERY very great,

the tamales are not comparable, the taste adn texture actually differs, with banana the tamale is more moist sweeter and something more the banana leaf adds that you can explain, that was a real treat for me when I was a child in Mexico. Enjoy!

the interviewer is SO annoying

[alicephrontistery]

That's what I wanted to know: is there a great difference in taste between banana wraped and corn wrapped tamales? I would imagine so, but in what way; are the banana tamales sweeter in the masa (because it will be the masa that picks up the "spice" of the wrapping)? My experience is only with corn husk wraps and I've used them on various styles of tamales, from seafood, vegitarian, fruit, sweet anise and raisin, pulled pork with red chile, pulled chicken with green chile, and beef w/chile.

[alicephrontistery]

She's putting them on banana leaves...I wonder, what is the difference in taste in comparison to the tamales on corn sheaves? It probably has alot of difference in taste depending on how the different masas were prepared and what the filling was.

[eyeofprovidenceorg]

There is a difference in taste because it picks up the flavors of the corn husk or banana leaf. However, the most significant difference to me is how the tamal inside of the banana leaf doesn't dry out.
