ISO Vegetarian tamale recipe

[larry_stewart]

Years ago I made a vegetarian tamale which contained onion, garlic, corn, red pepper .....

It was very good. So good, that i thought id remember the recipe for ever.

Years later, here I am, with no memory at all, other than it was very good.

SO, what im looking for is a vegetarian tamale recipe, or a regular tamale recipe that I can work with to vegetarianize (if this is a word) it. I love being creative so i have no problems converting it to a veg recipe, I just need cooking times, measurements and things like that to keep me on track.

anyway, thanks in advance,

larry

The last, and only time I've made tamales, I used coconut oil instead of lard. They turned out very well. The masa was moist and both fillings I used were delicious, especially the pumpkin one. Next time, i will try to use less coconut oil because they were pretty calorific. I've posted both links that I used to come up with a recipe, and my ingredient lists. I hope they help.
