Well, my technique needs some work, but they taste delicious.
Today was my first try at making tamales; I’d been intending to try with parchment paper instead of corn husks because I was having trouble sourcing husks, but I managed to snag a bag of them when I was in Texas, go figure.
I made the dough from a King Arthur recipe, but I stuffed them with my own mixes: most were pulled chicken in enchilada sauce, but I also used the last chopped up bits of my Italian Beef roast from the other day, and I made a few “pizza” tamales by stirring pizza sauce into a mixture of shredded cheese and leftover sauteed mushrooms.
With a steamer basket and a non-sealed “slow cooker” lid, you can steam tamales in the Instant Pot using the sautee function, but with the pressure lid you can also pressure-steam them. The recipes I’d looked at said to steam on high pressure for 25-28 minutes, but I may have overcrowded the pot, and when I opened it at 25 minutes the dough was still a bit soft. Another ten minutes on high did the trick, and now I have delicious tamales for like...ever. It made so many tamales and I am one mortal man.
But I will rise to this challenge. It is my purpose in life, at least for January, to eat a lot of tamales.
[ID: six images; the top two images are an “action shot” of my kitchenaid mixer, aerating the masa dough, and a pizza tamale getting ready to be folded shut and placed in the steamer. The middle image is the tamales post-steaming; there have been a few accidents, and pizza filling and masa are scattered around, but for the most part everything looks fine. Bottom three images are the various types of tamale: on the left is a pizza tamale, center is a chicken-enchilada tamale, right is a steak tamale. All of them are somewhat poorly made with the filling leaking out of the uneven masa dough, but they do look like they’d eat well.]

Once upon a time in a Galaxy far far away, I made tamales from scratch.
