I've never made a decent tamale but with all the ingredients in my freezer I thought it was about time I tried again. Luckily I found
this brilliant you tube channel. After watching a few of her tamale making videos I cracked on to give it a go myself.

| masa dough made with oil instead of lard |
 |
| soaked corn husks, cheese and salsa ready and waiting |
 |
| a good smear of masa and a huge block of cheese (I should have used twice as much cheese) |
 |
| Steaming away for hours |
The result was so yummy. I should have used as much cheese as she suggested but it looked like heaps. She also put a big slice of jalapeno in hers which would have been divine. Of course I never got around to taking any photos of the final product on the plate; we were way too busy feasting on them!
