SWEETPOTATO TAMALES
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper
- Bake sweetpotatoes for 1 to 1½ hours, (until tender) Remove potatoes from oven and cool. When sweetpotatoes are cool enough to handle, slip off the skins.
- While potatoes are cooking, rinse the cornhusks under cold water and place in a large bowl making sure they are covered with water.
- Place a couple of plates on top of the husks to keep them submerged.
- Let husks sit in water for 1 hour or until soft.
- Place butter in a large, heavy bowl and beat for 2 minutes at medium-high speed.
- Add, sugar and mix for 2 minutes at medium-low speed until the mixture is very creamy and light yellow.
- Add the roasted sweetpotato and mix it until fully incorporated and the mixture is fluffy. Add corn flour, rice flour, baking powder and salt and mix at low speed.
- While the mixture is running, slowly add milk.
- Blend until ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Drain the cornhusks and give the husk an extra shaking to dispel any excess water.
- Lay one husk flat in your hand or on a work surface.
- Scoop about a 1/4 cup of the masa mixture into the center of the husk. If the husks are too small or broken, put 2 husks together, overlapping them.
- Using the back of a spoon, spread the masa on the husk in a thin layer to the top part of the husk and down.
- Place 3 pecans, 3 raisins and 1½ tablespoons diced pineapple in the center of the masa.
- Fold in the sides of the husk so that dough covers the filling. Fold up the narrow bottom of the toward the back.
- Set the prepared tamales on a tray and cover with a damp cloth while you assemble the rest.
- Fill a large pot with enough hot water to reach just underneath but not touching a steamer basket. Place three coins in the water to. The coins will be your water measuring devices while you are cooking. When they stop jingling, the water is getting dangerously low, and more water must be added
- Cover the bottom of the steamer basket with some of the leftover cornhusks. Arrange the tamales vertically, standing them on their bottom fold and letting them rest against one another. Cover the tamales with more leftover husks or a kitchen towel.
- Cover the pot with lid and cook over medium heat until the tamales slide out of the wrappers, about 1 to 1½ hours.
- Try never to let water in the steamer go off the boil once you have started cooking.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
- Place all of the chiles on a rimmed baking sheet and roast for 5 minutes. Remove the chiles but don't turn off the oven. Put the chiles in a medium heatproof bowl, add enough boiling water to cover, and let sit until softened, about 20 minutes.
- On the same baking sheet, spread out the cloves, bay leaves, cumin, pimiento, and allspice. Roast, stirring the spices around halfway through baking, until toasted and aromatic, 7 to 10 minutes.
- In a medium pot over medium-high heat, warm 1/4 cup oil. Add the onion, garlic, and jalapeño, lower the heat to medium, season with salt, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are very softened and the onions are translucent, 10 to 15 minutes.
- Add the tomatoes and their juices and bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until thick and jammy, 25 to 30 minutes.
- Dump the tomato-onion mixture into a blender and add the spices, tomatillos, pepitas, peanuts, drained reconstituted chiles (reserve the soaking water), and a generous pinch of salt. Process, adding some of the soaking water a little at a time, until the mixture is smooth and thick.
- In a large pot over medium-high heat, warm the remaining 3/4 cup oil until hot. Turn off the heat and add the tomato-onion mixture quickly and all at once (be careful as the mixture will splatter). Bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce to a gentle simmer and let cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until thick, about 2 hours. Taste and add more salt if needed.
- In a clean blender, working in batches if needed, combine the masa with about 1 cup water and blend until very smooth.
- Pour the contents of the blender slowly into the tomato mixture and let cook for 30 minutes more. Taste and add more salt as needed. The mole can be fully cooled and stored at this point for up to 5 days.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil or parchment paper.
- Rub the whole sweet potatoes with olive oil and wrap them, side by side, in a single sheet of foil and place on the baking sheet. Bake until extremely soft, 75 to 90 minutes. About halfway through baking, place the diced sweet potatoes on the baking sheet and roast until al dente, 20 to 40 minutes.
- Once cooled, peel and quarter the whole sweet potatoes. Add them to a food processor, and puree until smooth, about 2 minutes. Reserve the roasted diced sweet potatoes for the filling.
- To the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, add 1 cup of the puree. Add half each of the masa, butter, salt, and baking powder, and beat until well combined. (Alternatively, you can mix the ingredients by hand, but the stand mixer creates an airier result.)
- Move this mixture to a larger bowl and then repeat the mixer processing with another 1 cup of the potato puree and the remaining masa, butter, salt, and baking powder. Combine with the first batch, then taste and adjust the seasoning as needed (it should taste well-seasoned). Reserve any remaining potato purée for another use.
- In a medium skillet over medium-high heat, warm 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add the onion, jalapeño, and garlic, and season with salt. Cook, stirring occasionally and reducing the heat if necessary to avoid browning the onions, until the onions are translucent, 5 to 10 minutes.
- In a large bowl, combine the onion mixture, the roasted diced potatoes, and 2 cups of the mole amarillo. Taste and add more salt as needed.
- Soak the corn husks in a large bowl or a sink filled with very hot water until softened, about 20 minutes. Remove from the water (no need to dry them off). Working with one at a time, place a husk on a clean work surface with the curved side facing up and the narrower end facing you. (Some husks will be smaller than others-if necessary, use a couple of small husks together, overlapping their long edges slightly.)
- Using a spoon or your hands, place a heaping 1/4 cup of masa over the center of each corn husk, leaving a 1 1/2-inch (4-cm) border clear along the wide, flat end of the husks. Spread the masa out to form a round that's about 3 inches (8 cm) across. Add about 3 tablespoons of the chunky sweet potato filling in a line down the center of the masa and spoon some of the sauce over the top. Fold the long edges of the corn husk over the filling to cover, first one side and then the other. Finally, fold the pointy end of the husk over to form a packet (the opposite end of the tamal should remain open). At this point, you can cover and refrigerate the tamales for up to 2 days or freeze the them. Add an extra 15 minutes of steaming time if starting with frozen ones.
- Prepare a bamboo or metal steamer over high heat.
- When steaming, put the tamales in the steamer, piling them as needed to fit, either horizontally or with their open ends facing up. Steam until the masa has firmed, adding boiling water as necessary, 60 to 120 minutes. (To test, open the husk: a toothpick inserted into the masa should come out mostly clean.)
- Let the tamales cool slightly prior to devouring.

SWEET POTATO TAMALE
These are So delicious. I had these at a friends house over the weekend and was so happy she gave me the recipe :o) You can make these with or without the corn husks, they're not always easy to find depending on your demographic area, my friend just used plain parchment paper and tied the ends with string.

Steps:
- If using dried corn husks: About 2 hours before you plan to form the tamales, clean the husks under running water. Soak them in warm water for 2 hours, or until softened.
- Put the corn, onion, roasted garlic, and stock in a large mixing bowl, cut in the butter and shortening. Using your fingers, mix in the cornmeal, honey, and salt and pepper until there are no visible lumps of fat. The mixture will be a lot looser than you think it should be, but when the tamales are steamed it will dry out.
- Remove the cornhusks from the water and set aside the best 20 husks. Drain and pat dry. Tear the remaining husks into 1-inch wide strips to be used for tying. Lay 2 husks (or about a 5 inch piece of parchment) flat on a work surface, with the tapered ends facing out and the broad bases overlapping by about 3 inches. Place about 1/3 cup of masa mixture in the center. Bring the long sides up over the masa, slightly overlapping, and pat down to close. (If the masa drips out a little at the seam, that is no problem.) Tie each end of the bundle with a strip of cornhusk (or string), pushing the filling toward the middle as you tie. Trim the ends to about 1/2-inch beyond the tie.
- Arrange the tamales in a single layer on a steaming rack, cover tightly with foil, and steam over boiling water for 45 minutes. To Serve: slice a slit on top of each tamale and push both ends of the tamale toward the middle to expose the masa.

NEW MEXICAN RUBBED PORK TENDERLOIN WITH SWEET POTATO TAMALE AND PECAN BUTTER
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Heat olive oil in a medium saute pan, over high heat. Season pork with salt on both sides. Dredge pork in the spice rub and tap off any excess. Sear the pork on both sides until golden brown. Cook in the oven to medium doneness, about 8 to 10 minutes.
- Let pork rest for 5 minutes before slicing into 12 slices. Plate 3 slices per plate. Drizzle with the Bourbon-Ancho Sauce. Place a Sweet Potato Tamale, topped with Pecan Butter next to the slices of pork.
- Combine all ingredients in a small bowl.
- Heat olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook until soft. Add the bourbon and cook until completely reduced. Add the remaining ingredients and cook until reduced by half. Strain through a fine mesh strainer, return mixture to the pan, and cook to sauce consistency, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of bourbon and cook for 2 minutes. Season with salt.
- About 2 hours before you plan to form the tamales, clean the husks under running water. Soak them in warm water for 2 hours, or until softened.
- Puree the corn, onion, roasted garlic, and stock in a food processor. Transfer the mixture to a mixing bowl and cut in the butter and shortening. Using your fingers, mix in the cornmeal, honey, and salt and pepper until there are no visible lumps of fat. Fold in the sweet potato puree, cinnamon, cloves, allspice, and maple syrup. The mixture will be a lot looser than you think it should be, but when the tamales are steamed it will dry out.
- Remove the cornhusks from the water and set aside the best 20 husks. Drain and pat dry. Tear the remaining husks into 1-inch wide strips to be used for tying. Lay 2 husks flat on a work surface, with the tapered ends facing out and the broad bases overlapping by about 3 inches. Place about 1/3 cup of masa mixture in the center. Bring the long sides up over the masa, slightly overlapping, and pat down to close. (If the masa drips out a little at the seam, that is no problem.) Tie each end of the bundle with a strip of cornhusk, pushing the filling toward the middle as you tie. Trim the ends to about 1/2-inch beyond the tie.
- Arrange the tamales in a single layer on a steaming rack, cover tightly with foil, and steam over boiling water for 45 minutes. To Serve: slice a slit on top of each tamale and push both ends of the tamale toward the middle to expose the masa. Top each with 1 tablespoon of Pecan Butter.
- Combine all ingredients in a bowl. Scrape into a ramekin and refrigerate until solid, about 2 hours.
SWEET TAMALES WITH YAMS AND PECANS
Sensational side dish. It takes a bit of work, but the effect will have your dinner guests talking! A slightly sweet little bundle topped with a smoky chipotle-sour cream sauce. I used a 1/4 cup cookie scoop to measure out the mixture for each tamale and got 16. From Nob Hill Foods website featuring recipes for Thanksgiving. I might try increasing the sugar and decreasing the masa and see if it will still stay together in a "tamale".

Steps:
- Place yam in a steamer basket and steam for 15 minutes or until very tender; mash with brown sugar and 2 tablespoons butter; set aside.
- Place masa, remaining butter, cinnamon, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Using an electric mixer, beat in enough broth to make a soft dough. Lightly stir in yam mixture and pecans, leaving some small chunks of yam and taking care not to overmix.
- Spoon about 1/4 to 1/2 cup of mixture in the center of each corn husk, depending on how large you want them to be. Fold in sides, then tie the ends with small strips of corn husk. (Go ahead and make a square knot on each end--when they are cooked, the knotted strip slips right off the ends.).
- Place in a steamer basket and cook, covered, for 1 hour. Remove from heat and let stand for 10 minutes before serving with Chipotle Cream.
- For Chipotle Cream: Stir together sour cream and minced canned chipotle pepper. Add more adobo sauce to taste.
- Chef tip: For a great appetizer, make these in mini size. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of yam mixture into a smaller piece of corn husk; steam for only 30 minutes.

- Cut the corn kernels from the cobs; you should have about 2 cups. Cook the kernels in 4 cups of boiling salted water until tender, about 4 minutes. Drain in a colander set over a bowl and let the corn and liquid cool completely.
- In a large skillet, toast the cornmeal over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until fragrant, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate to cool.
- In a large bowl, combine the cornmeal with the salt. Blend in the better with your hands. Stir in the corn kernels, sweet potatoes and hot sauce. Using a wooden spoon, beat in about 2 cups of the reserved corn liquid, 1/2 cup at a time, beating well to incorporate as much air as possible; the dough should be very moist and light.
- Separate the corn husks. Overlap 2 to 3 of the husks to make a 6-inch-wide wrapper for each tamale. Mound 1/3 cup of the dough in the center of the husks and pat down slightly, leaving a 1 1/2-inch border all around. Wrap the husks around the filling to completely enclose it; allow room for the tamale dough to expand during cooking. Pinch the ends and tie tightly with string, leaving 1 inch of husk sticking out at each end.
