GREEN CHILE/CORN TAMALES
This summer treat can only be made when fresh corn is available, but it's well worth the wait. Subtle flavors of corn, green chile peppers and seasonings are rolled in a masa harina dough...just like your traditional Holiday tamales! These freeze well. Can also be made with vegetable stock for a meat-free variety.

Steps:
- 1. Make the masa dough: In a large mixing bowl put dry masa mix. Make a well in the masa, add salt and shortening. Add part of the broth and work it into the masa mixture with hands or pastry blender. Work in additional broth until mixture is light and fluffy. Masa is crumbly but will form a ball when lightly pressed into your hand. Cover and chill overnight.
- 2. Prepare the corn shucks: Slice off the ends of each ear with a sharp knife. Carefully peel off each shuck, leaving them whole so you can use them for wrapping the tamales. A bit of cornsilk left on is OK because it adds fresh corn flavor! (Shucks need to be checked for dirt, mold, etc. I wash mine in a sink with hot water and a few drops of dish detergent, then rinse them in hot water.)The shucks need to remain moist and pliable.
- 3. Make the Filling: Cut corn kernals from each cob (avoiding the tough inner parts of them) and set aside about 4 cups of kernals. In a large pan mix 4 cups corn kernals, onion, and all the dry seasoning ingredients. Mix in oil and sautee the mixture over medium heat until corn is tender (not mushy). To the sauteed corn mixture, add chopped chile peppers, garlic and cilantro. Simmer slowly for another 10 minutes. If necessary let excess liquid evaporate, then cover and cool the mixture. When mixture is cool, add shredded cheese. Mix well.
- 4. Filling the tamales: Holding a shuck with one hand, put a thin layer of masa dough and spread edge to edge on the shuck. Spoon some filling onto it and fold up to seal. (Since God doesn't make all shucks the same size and thickness, some roll very easily into the desired shape, but others won't. So on a few you may have to use two shucks (one around the other). These don't have to be pretty -- You don't eat the shucks!) Leave one end open and fold the other end over to close it. (Some folks tie strings on tamales to keep wrappers closed, but I find this unnecessary when using green corn shucks.)
- 5. Steaming Tamales: Make sure your steamer rack keeps food at least 1 inch above boiling water. Put 2 layers of tamales on the rack, cover, and steam over a medium boil for 25 to 30 minutes. To test doneness, remove one from the steamer and look in the open end. Gently open a space between the dough and the shuck. Dough will be firm and will show the striations from the shuck imprinted on it. Repeat steaming in layers until all are cooked. I pack them into freezer bags. Thawing in the microwave oven is not recommended.)
GREEN CHICKEN TAMALES
These authentic Mexican green tamales (tamales verdes) are stuffed with chicken and a spicy tomatillo sauce. To make tamales from scratch takes time, but it is so worth it. [Recipe originally submitted to Allrecipes.com.mx]

Steps:
- Place corn husks in a bowl, cover with boiling water, and soak for 30 to 60 minutes. Drain, place on a work surface, and cover with a clean, damp towel.
- Place chicken in a pot, season with salt, and cover with water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, reduce heat, cover, and simmer until chicken is cooked through, 20 to 25 minutes. Drain chicken and shred with 2 forks.
- Place tomatillo and serrano peppers in a pot while chicken is cooking, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Cook until tomatillos are soft and have changed color, but are not falling apart, 3 to 5 minutes.
- Combine tomatillos, serrano peppers, onion, cilantro, and garlic in a blender; blend into a smooth sauce.
- Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a saucepan over medium heat and add tomatillo sauce. Cook until sauce has slightly thickened, 3 to 5 minutes. Add shredded chicken and season filling with salt.
- Beat remaining butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer until creamy. Add chicken broth, masa harina, baking powder, and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and beat well until combined and the consistency of cookie dough. Test if the masa is ready by dropping a small ball of masa into a glass of cold water; if it floats, it's ready, if not, keep beating for a little longer.
- Select 1 wide corn husk or 2 small ones. Spread about 2 tablespoons masa mixture onto the the corn husk, filling it up to 2 inches from the bottom and 1/4 inch from the top. Add 1 tablespoon of filling down the center of the masa mixture. Fold sides of husk together, one over the other. Fold the bottom of the husk over the seam of the 2 folded sides. Repeat with remaining husks.
- Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add tamales with the open side up and cook until filling is heated through and separates from the husk, about 1 hour. Let tamales stand for 15 minutes before serving.

GREEN CHILI & CORN TAMALE FILLING
I have become known amongst our friends and relatives as the white east coast girl that can make darn good tamales. Here is the filling for my green chili & corn tamales that I have perfected during the last few years. As usual, I can't say that my measurements are exact...but....the key here is fresh ingredients, butter, and cream!

GREEN CORN TAMALES
I have been making Green Corn Tamales for years. They are different than regular tamales and are time comsuming but well worth it. It really helps to have another person to help with the wrapping. My DH usually helps, he is good at husking the corn and clean up. I usually make when corn is in season & cheap. My family loves them. The original recipe comes from a restaurant and I made some changes.This makes 12 to 16 good sized tamales.
