Recipe For Vegan Tamales Dough Food

VEGAN TAMALES RECIPE

Steps:

• Soak corn husks in warm water for 30 minutes to soften.
• To make the dough, add masa, baking powder, salt and ground cumin to a large and mix well. Add corn oil and vegetable stock and mix with your hands until a dough is formed.
• To make the filling, heat diced onion, corn oil and minced garlic over medium heat until softened, about 5 minutes. Add cayenne, diced mushrooms, salt and pepper and cook until mushrooms are tender, about another 3-5 minutes, then stir in the vegan cheese and set aside.
• Once corn husks are softened, drain and dry. Place a single husk down on a flat surface to begin making your tamales!
• Add about 1/4-1/3 cup of masa dough and gently flatten out in your hands. Place dough in the middle of the thicker end of the corn husk and continue flattening out until you create a roughly 1/4 inch thick rectangle.
• Add 2 tbsp filling to the center of the masa. Fold husk in half longways to cover enclose the filling inside the masa, then fold the other side over like a burrito and gently squish down.
• Fold the smaller end up and secure by tying a string of a corn husk twice. Place tamale in a steamer and continue with remaining filling and masa.
• Steam tamales for about 30-35 minutes, or until the masa pulls away from the husk. Take off corn husk and enjoy with salsa!
