I LOVE tamales.  But I have always been intimidated by the idea of making them from scratch.  I end up making tamale pies and tamale casseroles, but never actual tamales.  Until today!  I am happy to report that I did make vegetarian tamales successfully.  Next on the list is to make some regular pork tamales, but baby steps!

The recipe I used is by Mommie Cooks and can be viewed on her blog or on Tasty Kitchen.  I won't list the recipe here since there is a great version at both links. I used the rolling techniques at Fabulous Foods.
