Hatch Red Chile Pork Tamales

Driest tamale I've ever had. They we're tightly packed in a bag that made them all square. After warming and unrolling the tamales from what looks like a square piece of paper it was a pile of dry crumbly masa and the pork had very little red chile taste. The next ones I removed the faux corn husk first and they were dry before warming but stayed together and I poured some melted butter on them after warming to add moisture. The entire dozen were identical. The tamales arrived partially frozen as the plastic bag holding them and the dry ice was not tied shut (dry ice had evaporated ) and the bagged tamales were outside the bag.

great mix of meat and masa. love The Fresh Chile company!!

Great tamales

To have a tamal that has all the tastes associated with the simple ingredients and not be heavy from hydrogenated fats is a treat.

The recipes ability capture authentic tastes of tamale history.

I think the family kept the tamales simple and tasty.

We like them and fortunate enough to include the treats in our regimine a few times though the year on different occasions .

Steamed and Hot.....Yum....and w/ eggs on top for a higher protein meal.

Loved them. Ate all already and just recieved a few days ago. I bet they would be even better with hot chilis inside...I am on a fixed budget so I will have to wait to order again but I definitely will order again...
