Tamales PT 2...

Story:  I didn't make them this time.....they were being sold for a fundraiser and I luckily snatched a dozen before they were sold out.  These tamales were Ecuadorian - so they had different ingredients and were wrapped in banana leaves.  Inside these pork tamales were potatoes, corn and meat.  I made some fresh veggie & cumin rice, along with some fresh salsa.  A couple tacos on the side and it was a very filling meal.  

As I'm eating, I'm thinking how much I prefer my tamales to these ones.  So of course I hopped online and ordered some supplies!!  I got a tamale kit that comes with the masa, the husks, a steamer, chilies, a spreader and something else.  Can't wait 'til it gets here!  I'm making a big batch this time.  The spreader will make it heaps easier than when I did it with a rice spoon.  The plan is to make beef and pork tamales.  

I think I might have a small dinner party to celebrate my hard work!!
