Ingredients
2 1/3 cups masa harina flour4/5 cups coconut or palm oil2 servings Gardein Chik'n Scallopini1/2 teaspoon salt5 tomatillos1 fresh green chile, roasted and chopped (preferably pasilla or poblano)1 3/4 Tablespoon baking powder2 1/3 cups vegetable broth (made with buillion if desired)4 serrano peppers1/2 cup chopped onion4 cloves of garlic, minced
Process the tomatillos, serranos and garlic in a blender to make a sauce.
Mix the masa flour, salt and baking powder in a bowl, add the broth (or you can use warm water) and mix well, then add the fat (coconut oil in this case). Soak some corn husks while you are preparing the filling.
Cook the Gardein patties according to package directions, then cut them in 1 inch thin slices when they're cool enough to handle. Cook the onion in the same pan you had the chik'n patties in, then add the chopped patties, the green chile, and the tomatillo salsa, cook down until most of the moisture is gone.
To make tamales, take a soaked corn husk and add about 1/4 to 1/3 cup of the masa, spread it to about the size of your open palm. Put about a tablespoon of the filling in a strip down the center, then use the cornhusk to fold the masa around the filling, fold the bottom of the corn husk up over the tamale, then wrap the sides around, tie the top with a strip peeled off another corn husk. Steam the tamales for 40 minues to 1 hour, making sure that they aren't immersed and the pan does not go dry.
This can make anywhere from 12-20 or so tamales, depending on your technique.
